More Getting Healthy

I am very lucky to work at the school that I do, because not only do I have a friend there who is helping me to workout more (Getting Healthy), my sweet partner, Beth, is now motivating me to start eating better too!

Last week I let my workout plan slide due to Thanksgiving. Logged a total of 0 minutes on my Holland Hustler goal sheet last week. Yikes! I got back from a jog not long ago and feel good about getting back on track with that. Jet was by my side as usual! He really is the best jogging partner. He's always ready to go when I am. He never wants to stop early. He lets me listen to my ipod and doesn't want to talk the whole way. He absolutely loves every minute of it! The only downside is the occasional potty stop, but sometimes I'm happy for those since I get to stop and rest a minute. (He was so cute today! There were Christmas lights up and he was really wary of them! He'd get really close to me and watch those lights! Ha!)

Next step- eating better. I used to be very, very disciplined with what I ate, and have now totally let it go (blame it on getting married). Two years and fifteen pounds later, I'm ready to make some changes. I'm feeling motivated to pick back up those healthy eating habits due to Beth. She really is the best partner! We get along so well we sometimes do more talking than working during our planning time! We both have realized that work is a terrible place for trying to take care of yourself! You work long hours, you can't go to the bathroom whenever you want so you end up not drinking enough water, there's always junk food, birthday cupcakes, and other terrible things to eat all around you- OH! - the wonderful tray lunch is always there! We agreed to help each other stay on track while we're at work. It's SO nice to have a buddy!

I'll let you know my progress! I don't anticipate losing 15 pounds, but I would like to wake up in the morning and feel energized! I would love to feel great in my clothes again. I think I will!
