HAPPY NEW YEAR AND WELCOME 2012!!!
I’m back from vacation and ready for an awesome new year and I hope you are too! Nothing like starting off with a fresh, clean slate. I haven’t done resolutions in a few years, instead I’ve committed to accomplishing goals and sticking to them. Sometimes we say in the beginning of the year that we’re going to do something then we get discouraged and fall off off the wagon. Well not me…I have a goal, and I WILL demolish it!
I’m a Weight Watchers member and have been for years. My Sister actually encouraged me to get started back in 2008. She has been a member since her pageant competition days. She swore by WW’s, and I thought I’d give it a try and I haven’t looked back ever since. Even through “life” I’ve managed to find my way back to this plan. I absolutely love it, because it’s NOT a diet…but a lifestyle change. The new and improved PointsPlus program is awesome! I learn so much attending meetings, meeting new people, hearing testimonials, sharing recipes…all of it! The thing I love about WW’s is you can eat whatever you want. You learn how to eat better, smarter, and you find ways to enjoy the foods you LOVE! It’s all about moderation. When you do want to splurge…you know how to get back on track!
The new year is always so predictable. PACKED gyms…can’t even get to the Arc Trainer or get a place in Step Class without running somebody down! But…my first meeting for 2012 was so packed, I couldn’t believe it! I was like, “where did these people come from?” I know it’s a new year and all, but I had never seen this! lol I was glad to see so many faces nonetheless.
It’s a challenge to eat right, stay fit, and live healthy. You know we already have so many temptations. I heard on TV that a lot of the “not so healthy” restaurants commercials are created with colors to entice you: Red, Yellow, Orange, Blue…and it’s so true! And why a bag of Baked Cheetos gotta be $4.00…Why can’t they be $2 like the regular? And why does fruit have to be so high, but you can find your favorite cookies, chips for buy one, get one free and half the price? JUST SAYING! But that’s another post…
My goal this year is to continue my fitness journey, improve in different areas, do more…work harder! It feels so good to accomplish your goals, and even better to look and feel better. I’m down 120 sticks of butter and I’m very proud and I’m not stopping here. I have an ultimate goal that goes beyond the scale–but until then, I will continue to do my best! This is a new year and all I have to do is BELIEVE!
And proof that hard work pays off…
I just want to give a special shout out to the Alabama Crimson Tide who won the 2012 BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!! ROLL TIDE!!!
Have a great week!
