Today is the official start date for "Get Off Your Broom" fitness challenge hosted at http://www.thedomesticpagan.com/2011/09/get-off-your-broom-lets-get-started-on.html?showComment=1317475448446#c4905391105096861407. Haven't signed up or even seen it yet, no worries. Just join in now. Those of us who are joining are all looking to get healthier, not just shed a few pounds. The challenge last through the holiday season, so checkout the The Domestic Pagan, read some of the other blogs listed, get out your pen and paper, set your goals, make a plan, and tell us about it so we can sent positive energy for success your way.
This week, my goal is to add a yoga class to my routine. Several years ago, I had an AM yoga practice that got and kept me going, so I know I just have to do it. Telling you all will help me with accountability. Ask me about it; push me to keep my commitment.
My eating goal is to refine my eating habits, back to what I was doing in January. Eating whole, clean foods. Nothing (or at least very little) refined or processed. Lots of fresh veggies, fruits, and some meat and poultry in sensible portions. I know this works because I lost 25 lbs between January 2011 and June 2011. Yes, I let stress pull me off this program, then I went on vacation for 2 weeks, but the positive side of that is that I did not gain any weight. I just didn't loose any.
Pictures may or may not follow, as I hate pictures of myself. I have taken my measurements, and those are for my eyes only, but I will tell you that they quality for jumbo goddess size, and you all have just read about my plan. We can do this! "Get Off Your Broom" and get started!
Yay! Your post was great! I feel more motivated already! (I blew it at lunch already...lol). I am not going to get down on myself...it's a process. Thanks for sharing!
