I am presently with my parents in Washington State. This has never been my 'home' as I've never resided here, however, I suppose home is truly where the heart is. Family=home. Friends=home.
I'm trying to get revved up to make some good changes at the start of the year. My knees are feeling better. I do need to be careful with them though as they aren't 100% yet. Sometimes just standing for an extended period of time can create discomfort. But, I've also not been active, trying to heal up, so now my muscles are all tight and body is feeling weak due to lack of use. I need to get set up with a new, cheap gym at the start of the year. I'm thinking Golds will probably do. They are only $15 a month. Who can beat that? The classes aren't included though which is too bad. But, I could always keep my eyes out for really good class deals via Groupon or Living Social to spice up the fitness routine every now and again.
My mom showed me a new book called the 17 Day Diet. I'm intrigued and think I might give it a try. It's not super restrictive or crazy. Just monitoring the types of foods you take in and the segments change every 17 days. The idea is to make each segment palatable. Who can't do something for 17 days, right? Also, to mix things up for your body, not maintain the same routine which allows for your body to get used to the changes. So, perhaps at the start of the year, I will start the first segment of this 17 Day Diet and see if it works for me. If the changes are ones that work with my schedule, my tastes, my motivation. ;)
Merry Christmas!
