Hi All!
It's been a while (11 days exactly!). Sorry we've been MIA. Sickness, holidaze...and well, laziness.
This time of years seems to make me more tired.
I am (*S) happy to report I'm down 54 pounds (according to my doctors scale) and 51 according to ours. Sweet! Now, I have to admit....I wanted more. BUT! Gaining muscle + losing weight= doubly excellent. So...I'm OK. Really. :)
D is happy to report that he's down a total of 35 pounds and has nearly doubled all of his weights since we began training. Legit, the kid is hip adducting 270 pounds. That's two people!
So, the holidays were OK...a little rough w/ snacking and weird gym hours. However, we're back on track....and not making bullshit excuses.
Speaking of bullshit, we both usually consider resolutions to be bullshit. "I resolve to lose weight!"..."I resolve to quit smoking!"....blah blah. Come Feb 1st everyone has given up and gone back to their old, fat, smoking ways.
Nonetheless, we've made some resolutions ....and we're going to share them. It is our blog after all. ;)
D first!
* Put the ball in motion to pursue what I want to do with the rest of my life (audio and sales ain't it). I went to college for audio, I have some debt and friends to show for it...but it's not my true passion. I want to take the steps this year so I can pursue that passion 100%.
* Continue changing my lifestyle for the positive (healthier eating, making conscious choices etc.). I truly feel like I have turned a corner this year. I'm not just talking about a gym - I'm going. SIX DAYS A WEEK. I'm over the hump of discomfort and ready to keep pushing.
* Be more spiritual (while I don't consider myself religious and never will....I'd like to be more in tune with the world and myself).
* Do more volunteer work (ok...do SOME. Watching a show called "Secret Millionaire" has inspired me to want to help my community more).
*S second (always!):
*Become the type that attracts my type
It’s true that a woman should work on herself before attempting to find a mate. My ideal partner is financially independent, healthy in his eating and exercising routines, emotionally mature, funny, worldly, passionate about something and an all around good person. I imagine this person is looking for the same characteristics in his mate. I will begin a process of embodying these qualities, so that when he finds me, I’ll be ready for him :)
*Continue the pursuit of eliminating personal debt
If I can follow the no-fun budget I will be 100% out of personal debt (credit cards etc.) in 2009. I will have student loans for another 9 years, but I'm not terribly worried about those. They're manageable, and almost everyone has them. My goal is to continue paying off my debt and save where I can. Financial independence, here I come!
*Write a page a day
I want to begin a daily ritual of purging everything that is in my head. Every idea, every dream, every thought—no matter how dark or ridiculous, every secret. A full page. More if I need to. So I can clear my mind and to see myself more realistically. I doubt I'll ever share this with anyone but I know it will help *me*.
*Be more connected
I am the queen of multi-tasking. As such I never give my full attention to anything I do. In 2009 I vow to be more connected and more conscious of my life. I will stop checking my email/voicemail/text messages when someone tells me a story. I will put my laptop away when I watch TV. I will not eat while I'm on the phone. I will give my life the undivided attention it deserves.
*Continue working out / eating healthier
I've done well so far with diet and exercise...in 2009 I want to see myself reach my "perfect" weight. I want to buy clothes in a size 8. I want to run a half marathon. I want to live...and not the life I live now. :) Most of all...I want to stay NO BULLSHIT and meet the goals I set. I might need a lil help from my friends on this one!
*Move to California
2009 is my year. I can feel it. No debt, no baggage (figuratively...and literally - no "junk in the trunk!"). I've always talked about this but I've always let my weight stop me. Not this year.
Peace out 2008....you won't be missed. Hello 2009 - bring us some good luck!
Love,
*US*
