Resolutions? Eh...

[Jbean603]

I really don't like to make resolutions. I always feel like a failure if I don't live up to them. I laugh at Over the Hedge, the comic strip, because every year, the have the Resolution Absolution at the end of the year, absolving you of the last year's resolutions you failed to accomplish.

I didn't make any last year. I wanted to loose weight, as always, and tried really hard. Didn't do as well as I had in other years actually. My motivation was ill-placed, I think. In years past, I'd used the "I can't go to LA looking like this!" theory, because all of LA is plastic and 95 pounds. Well, this past year was Orlando and everyone there is normal Americe, so all I really had to worry about was endurance and heat. So, I walked. I ate a little healthier, but I didn't go gung-ho as I did for LA.

This year, I"m going back to my LA mantra. I was down 25 pounds from where I'm at now when I was going for LA. I'm cutting out as many hormones, antibiotics, preservatives and bi-products as humanly possible. With the help of Dude, we're going to do a garden again, maybe even compost :) I think I'm going to continue my gym membership, that'll help. And, really, even though I hate Wisconsin, it's only 2 more months and there won't be a whole lot of ice on the ground, so I can start walking outside again. I can walk inside the warehouse at work, if I need to, at lunch time, there's space (i saw it right before break)

Can't wait. I'd like to become healthy again :) I liked being that way when we went out to LA. It was fun and I didn't feel strained. Much better lifestyle.
