We have decided that we are DONE with the holidays and all of the eating, drinking, and excess that it brings. The thought of attending another party, having another hangover, or eating more unneeded high-cal food is extremely unappealing. We are both looking forward to a good, fresh start and want to start this health-kick off in style.
My boyfriend and I will be attending a silent, candlelight hot yoga class tonight! The yoga goes from 10:30 TO 11:30, followed by a long meditation. Then people gather in the lobby all sweaty and uplifted for refreshing snacks and drinks, and a toast to 2011.
I am REALLY looking forward to this. I am not even disappointed that I won't get to wear my new dress :) We will then be spending Saturday and Sunday on a fresh-juice fast, using the new juicer we got for Christmas. It's not for weight loss but for kicking all the processed junk from our systems. We will clean out the cupboards so that on Monday when we go back to eating solid foods there are only good choices in the house.
What is more relaxing, refreshing, and renewing than a hot yoga class and raw food/fresh juice fast?
So Happy New Year! This is the year of GOAL for me... Not only will I reach my weight loss goal this year (I will! Notice this is not "I might", or "I hope"), but I am also graduating university and reaching my goal of becoming a teacher. Both projects took 5 years to complete... I started my weight loss journey only a few weeks before entering first year university.
To all my friends who have helped me along the way - may 2011 bring health, happiness, peace, and see many goals achieved :)
Wow, I am jealous. Candle light hot yoga just sounds so amazing. I hope you do get to wear your dress sometime soon though (or return it) before you shrink out of it.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a fantastic 2011. How exciting that you are going to meet two major goals this year. Your facebook friends will be cheering you down the homestretch and we will continue to gain inspiration from you at the same time. :)
What an amazing way to ring in the New Year!
