A New Year round the corner

Although I do not believe in making new year resolutions (having flopped miserably at so many of them), there is something to be said for new beginnings that I am a big fan of and if the association coincides with a new week, month or year, I don't really mind.

Anyhoo I had outlined 2011 as a year of self repair and so I have had a baby, an ankle reconstruction, visits to a psychologist to deal with my sugar addiction and now that the year is almost at an end, I thought it might be time to draw up another list of what I would like to do in 2012 seeing all of the above were accomplished. These plans are not in order of preference

2012 PLANS

BODY

• Lose 30 Kilos.
• Try and minimise sugar to no more than half a cup a month and then working towards gradually ending its existence in our lives.
• Make exercise a part of daily life and not think of it as a punishment or a chore.
• Cycle 100km in 2012

MIND

• Work on self confidence and standing up for myself - if someone is rude then let them know it. 

SPIRIT

• Enjoy life and each day valuing my gorgeous husband and lovely child and thanking the powers that be for their existence in my life.
• Try and meditate once a week

I think I will see Dec as the month I started. I don't want to wait for Jan as I have often been there and done that and all it ever is is an excuse to eat madly till the starters gun goes on 01 Jan, 2012. I just want to eat normal, close to home cooked food and essentially food for life.

Meanwhile the cold hard facts:

Weight: 122.2 kg

Measurements: 

 Hips 141.1cm

Waist 118 cm

Neck Circum 40.5cm

There is a great app on my iphone called 'MyNetDiary' which is free (I am a sucker for free apps). One can log all measurements etc on this app. There is also a section where one can log in the food etc which I am not doing as I am still new to this app and just want to keep a record of my weight essentially. But it is there for those that need it.

I am planning on measuring myself weekly and will go from there. My goal for Dec is to go for a walk everyday for an hour starting tomorrow.Meanwhile I will think of things like gyms etc for the following months. Lets see. I just need to focus on moving and eating better and of course doing what the psych has asked me to do - write about me eating sugar when I eat it and I have not done it. I have to complete this tonight. But it is 7.15pm and I need to cook - hubby is back and putting little one to sleep - I gotta run :) - Be healthy all!!
