If you rest, you rust.

It's just that simple.  I was feeling great after my workout yesterday and determined that I was going to make it for another today... until I woke up sicker today than I have been in a while.  I've been fighting this bug since before Christmas and thought I was on the mend but apparently I was wrong.  I have barely been able to sit without coughing up a lung nevermind what it would have been like had I gone through another of Shannon's circuit classes lol.

I'm finding though that the more I'm "resting" the sorer I'm feeling so I'm going to try to get into the gym tomorrow morning to avoid "rusting" over the long weekend.  Hopefully Amanda will give me the ass kicking that I deserve and need to be prepared for the weekend.  I'm also hoping that the weather will cooperate this weekend so that we can take the kids out sledding and skating and I'm not just lying on the couch getting even rustier before Monday. 

I'm not making any resolutions for the New Year because I find that they tend to be broken or forgotten, instead, I'm going to focus on staying dedicated to becoming an improved, healthier me.

My list of goals to help me achieve this includes:

• Limiting my snacking (at least the unhealthy stuff) or opting for healthier choices
• Limiting my sugar intake
• Hitting the gym a minimum of 3 times/week
• Setting attainable and realistic weight loss goals so that I don't get discouraged
• Seeking and/or asking for help when needed
• NOT LETTING ANYTHING OR ANYONE GET IN THE WAY OF MY GOALS

Wishing one and all a very Happy New Year and may this be YOUR best year yet!
