A New Year and I'm back

After a 3 month hiatus from blogging, I've decided that I'm going to start posting again.  I don't know how frequent, but my goal is once or twice a week.  Maybe I'm post more, maybe not, but I'm going to use the opportunity to make myself accountable for a couple of resolutions I'm making for myself.  I like resolutions, I may not always succeed but I'm very goal oriented.

When I quit writing in October, I had hit a wall in my fitness journey.  I suffered a stress fracture of the left foot that has been a (pardon my french) a son of a bitch to heal.  I finally was correctly diagnosed and put in an immobilizing boot right before Thanksgiving and I'm still in it.  I've had my doctor's approval to either ride a bike, outside or at the gym or utilize a pool (which I don't have this time of year) but nothing else.  It's been very frustrating and disappointing, but I've continued to stay as active as I can and it's obviously helping because I haven't gained any weight.  I've been up and down 3 pounds for 2 months.  :(

I was set to start Kosama next week, but with the set back of my foot, I've had to postpone until March 14th.  It was already paid for and the owners were more than happy to move me into a spot for the next 10-week class.  Instead, I'm going to focus on biking and tomorrow, Fred and I are going to try the new Biggest Loser fitness game for the xbox Kinect that we got for Christmas.  It looks pretty cool!  I may not be able to the the jumping up and down aerobic stuff right now with this boot (well, maybe a modified version), but the strength training and stretching is right up my alley.




My sister and I also joined Weight Watchers before Christmas.  She weighs in every week.  I'm lifetime and I'm only going to weight in twice a month.  They've introduced a whole new plan, the first time in 15 years and so far I really like it.  Hoping to lose 20-25 pounds.....30-35 would be great, but if I really can work out, the 20-25 could look like 30-35 if I do it right.

So I will be accountable to my blog to stay on task in regards to getting fit and losing some weight.   I'll be sharing what's working, what's not, maybe even some healthy good for you recipes.  I'll probably throw in some scrapbooking, crafts, organizational and home decorating stuff too, since you all know I'm into that too.  If you want, check in and see how I'm doing or drop me a note.  I promise I read them.

Oh, and my teeth.......my wonderful teeth.  If I don't do anything else in 2011, I am SO GLAD I decided to get my front teeth fixed.  I won't have the permanent bridge until the middle of February, but I'm already thrilled and can't wait to have the work complete.

Later.....
