It's A New Year
2008 is over and we welcome in 2009. 2008 was a memeorable year, a year I will never forget. 2008 has its highlights as well as its dissapointments. Read trhe newspaper or watch TV - no need for me to talk about what you already know. But there were some really positive moments that happened in my life.
The biggest improvement or bright spot in my life has been my renewed committment to not only working out, but working out consistently and with a definite plan. Certain days of the week are set aside for cardio, certain days for upper body workouts and other days for lower body workouts. I pretty much followed my plan with working out. Yeah there were some days when I had a really great worlout and others that weren't as good. But even those bad days in the gym were still grewat days because it kept me following a plan and being physically ready to have that great workout that you just need now and then. so I'll take a bad day in the gym versus no day in the gym.
One thing I'm happy about is that for a good part of the year I was able to control my weight really well. I was looking as lean as I have been in years. This last 4 weeks with the holidays and being with alot of friends I gained 6 pounds. It was tough to not eat. In years past I would gain more than this, so maybe that is a good thing. But I know I can drop the weight in a month- easy. The good thing about it is I feel as though I am in the best shape I have been in in over 6 years, so the weight will drop.
I know 2009 will be a great year. I have a great outlook about how I feel both physically and mentally. The economy seems to be getting its feet under itself. I'll have so much more energy and nothing but good things will happen. I wish all of you a great 2009. Make some written plans for your self for 2009 and work it and you will be surprised by what happens. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
