1. I haven't blogged for a while. Not because I'm unmotivated, but because I've had some unexpected events come up this winter (not to mention holidays!) and quite frankly, with the time I had, blogging wasn't top priority.
2. While I haven't gained weight, I haven't really lost any in the last 3 months either. I know why, and the only person stopping myself from changing that is me. I've been lazy on watching my sugar intake (especially from dried fruits!) and I've had some meals that just were full of simple carbs. During the holiday travel, I didn't get to the gym for 20 days. I tried to incorporate exercise while I was out, and I know that helped, but I really missed my routine with food and my gym at home.
3. I've been thinking about going Paleo for a while. I'm still not sold on it, because I really love dairy and can't fathom it being bad for you. I mean, I'm created to make milk to nourish my children! I know breast milk isn't what we're buying by the gallon, but I've come to find out that goat's milk is similar to ours, and on Paleo you can't even consume that. Sounds like I've got some research to do.
4. I've also been thinking about how I can be encouraging to my friends and family in regards to nutrition and exercise. Whether they say it or not, I'm sure most of my friends desire good health. We all do, right? I'm thinking of ways we can accomplish goals together instead of feeling like no one else has 25lbs to lose. Specifically, one thought I had was starting a yoga night at our place. Possibilities are endless!
5. I went to a CrossFit event here in West Lafayette and it just filled my heart with joy. There was a guest speaker who talked about nutrition (specifically Paleo) which was really informative. I learned/realized that I'm not alone- there are more people in this town that are working towards holistic health. Don't underestimate your community!
Goals for 2013
- Cut bread out completely
- Weigh under 200lbs by March 1st
