So what is your new year's resolution?
Like millions of other people I have a resolution everytime the page of December falls off the calendar. I tried not to do this but hey, I'm a creature of habit.
This year, I don't wish to be original with my resolve-- I simply wish to be fit.
So now it is the 8th and I'm just starting to put some thoughts on how to be fit. Oh well, it's still January, but the more I think about my resolution, the more I realize it is not that simple.
*First, I have to eat better: what to eat, how to eat, how much to eat, etc. I'm addicted to potato chips, could I really avoid eating it?
*Second, I have to exercise (whew! such a foreign word). How to begin? What kind? How long? What equipment to use? Um, I don't have any, so what to buy?
*Third, de-junk the house of bad food (this is gonna be really hard). Watch less TV, buy less movies, read less books and magazines-- in short, get my butta outa lazy boy sofa.
*Fourth, stop ordering lunch at work and start brown bagging food, okay, maybe order in once a week.
*Fifth, pencil in half an hour exercise schedule in my calendar. Think of it as another appointment every other day, okay everyday, no 3 times a week. Hmm, I'm a newbie, 3 times a week is good.
*Sixth, try very hard to stick with the list, at least through May so I don't have to buy another swimsuit this summer. They don't make swimsuit as good as they were 5 years ago. Every year I buy a new one and every one I ever bought shrunk!
Last but not least, I know I'm smart, I know it, I can do this.
Get fit-- I'll start tomorrow :)
Honest!
