Yeah, that's right

I'm doing it again! Aren't we all though. Come on, admit it! You too have made a resolution to either "get in shape", "lose weight", or "get healthier". My focus this year is on losing weight and toning up. Hawaii is coming and I'm ready for it mentally. I just need to prepare for it physically. I don't want to feel flabby and pasty on the beach. I want to feel confident in my modest bathing suit that covers the appropriate amount of body for my age. It's true that I have a slender frame which allows me to more easily hide the fat that I have gained but there is no hiding the giant amounts of cellulite that are on my thighs from pube to knee. I would insert a picture here so that you would truly understand the situation but it's lunch time and I want you to keep your food down. Unfortunately no matter how hard you try the cellulite is here to stay but at least I can feel better overall.

I know my friend who has organized this little trip to Hawaii reads my blog every now and then and for that reason I just have to mention this:

His wife has a smokin' bod (in a totally non-lesbian-I'm-really-jealous-of-it kind of way). Maybe she can be my trainer.

Anyway, my plan is simple. I don't have to make too many changes but the changes I feel I need to make are gonna be difficult. Here's my plan:

Power yoga every morning (already do this!)

Power walks or longer walks at least three times a week.

Some sort of exercise activity on the weekend (snow-shoeing, gardening etc..)

Hooping once a week (yes! Finally doing it!)

No more beer, nightly which has been my habit (small bits of wine)

No more constantly shoving sugar down my throat (honey and real brown sugar are fine in tiny bits)

Increase fruit and veggie intake and choose nuts or cheese or fruit as a snack

I am allowing myself small bits of treats I love every once in awhile (like once a week) so I don't lose my mind.

That's right. I'm doin' it!
