Another New Years Resolution
I guess "Happy New Year" well wishes are called for so here we go. ;-)
Went to the gym nearly daily before New Years with hardly anyone being there. Than Jan 1 happens and the place is packed. It is truly amazing what an effect New Years Resolutions can have on people's minds. As if the date is reason enough to change. As with every January it'll fade out within less than 4 weeks and go back to normal.
I'm so health-focused right now it is hard to allow other things into my mind. 30 pounds down since Dec 4 and my fitness level has not been better since my days as a martial arts athlete. My visit to the Hilton Head Health Institute seems to have truly changed my life (I hope it stays that way). I'm working out between 1 and 2 hours every day and use an online food diary to keep track of what I eat. So far so good!
I just watched another episode of the NBC hit show "The Biggest Loser" last night and the motivational boost I'm getting out of this is enormous. The way I'm looking at my health right now, and for the time being, I can honestly say that currently for me every day is New Years Day!
