Reset

So the new year has come and gone and as always, I have failed miserably on most of my 2013 resolutions. It seems like the pressure to succeed is enough to fail with those start of the year resolutions. I can't tell you how many times I've hit the reset button. It's usually on a Monday (start of the week that I love) or the start of a month. Well guess what? Tomorrow is Monday and the start of the the month of APRIL and BY GOSH I am gonna slay this resolution and start over....again!
Dont judge, you know you've been there. The great thing is, in the words of a famous little red-head, "the sun will come out tomorrow" yep there is always a do over when it comes to being healthy. It's never to late to reset. Now that spring break is over and my 10 hour drive to Idaho is done, all the junk food is GONE to my thighs and I am "burgered" out - I am resetting! Ok I tell a lie....I am resetting on Monday! Today is EASTER and I know I am going to eat chocolate - I will own the extra calories and the jiggle in the middle BUT I will hit it hard come Monday morning.

The plan....well I went shopping yesterday and here is what my fridge looks like.

Back to the basics....GREEN is my friend. A little fruit goes a long way, don't over do it Kim!
More Protein!!!! I've been using an app called "Lose It" It's good. I write down everything I eat and the calorie content. It keeps me focused during the day (not during spring break :)) but I notice that my carb content is always high, which makes me think I need to bump up the proteins and watch the fat/carb content in my diet! It gives a visual with a pie chart of how I'm doing. PLUS it's free!

Now to the exercise....this is not a problem for me because I love it!  Zumba makes it easy - burn 800+ calories per class.  Pump at least twice a week.  Gonna throw in 8strikes on Tuesday and maybe if I get totally wild hit P.I.T. on Friday and see if I can get in the room without a black eye (that's another story).  I really want to start running and swimming again.  It's been 3 years since I did the RAGE triathalon at Lake Mead.  I learned when I was training that I actually can run and I like it.  I think it works parts of your body you can't hit with classes & weights.  Plus this junk in the trunk needs to bobble its way off my bootay! Swimming would be great but probably not gonna happen so I'm not going to plan on it.

I'm motivated and positive - and that's where I want to stay.  I know it wont be easy changing the habits of recent weeks (ahem... of my life....) but I KNOW FOR SURE it will be worth it.  My goal is May.  That gives me two months to be disciplined and hopefully see good (realistic) results. Wish me luck....
