A New Year

I'm back. I'm 35. I'm in the worst shape of my life.

But I'm back. No more excuses. I have been coasting along on excuses for too long. It was so easy, herniated disc, Achilles tendinitis, sprained ankle. "Of course I can't work out, I'm injured." I always told myself I would work out when I felt better. But that's the thing, I haven't felt better and I won't until I start to work out and actually take care of my body. It won't be easy, it never is. But it has to be better than this!

And I won't just be working out to take care of myself. I will actually be feeding myself like I respect my body. No more eating like crap because I can't work out. No more starting on Monday (well I am starting on Monday but you get the point!) I'm not going extreme, no crazy diets. Just sensible portions and more fruits and veggies. Can't go wrong with that! 

Because let's face it, I'm not getting any younger, this isn't going to get any easier, and I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired! So here is what I want: I want to feel better in general; I want to feel better in my skin; I want to feel better in my clothes; I want to be able to do everything I want to do without worrying about my weight; I want to be able to run a spontaneous 5k, just because. 

So that's it. Oh, and if, in a year, I have met my goals, I'm booking a trip to Mexico!
