It’s the end of the year and as I look back over the past 12 months I see a lot of inconsistency. I've had great moments, horrible moments, and everything in between. My best was two weeks in June when I ate nothing but fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy fat and lots of protein. I haven't felt that great in years, I lost 8 pounds and felt stronger. Unfortunately we went to a family reunion, I fell to temptation and...well...
I can't beat myself up too much though. Suffice it to say 2011 was a Year of Experimenting. Experimenting with new foods (chard, liver, kale, and bok choy to name a few), new exercises (P90X), starting at the university and trying different study methods, and transitioning from raising a baby to raising a toddler. I didn't lose the weight or put on the muscle I had planned but so what? I now know what diet works best for me, what exercise program motivates and keeps me coming back for more, and how to balance school, kiddo, and personal growth.
Here's to 2012. With my new skills will it be the Year of the Bikini? Probably not since we are hoping to add to our family, but it will be the year of healthy eating, more time outdoors, more laughter and less stress and, best of all, more time with the people I love.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
Scrolling through and seeing new posts? I've decided to combine my older gardening blog with this one to have all my stuff in one place. Enjoy!
