I'm really lazy and not very proud of my resolution at this point.
Here's a run-down.
#1 - "achieve a healthy body, mind, soul"
I don't think I've amped it up enough in regards to BODY but have a plan of attack to lose the 20 pounds I have tacked on during the last year of traveling for business.
#21 - Spin
I took an intro class last week and loved it...it kicked my ass BUT I wasn't sore the next day which means that I'm possibly getting into shape...slow & steady, right?
I loved it...it's nice to have an instructor and to be challenged. She told us that it typically takes about 3 classes to realize how much you like spinning because it's pretty tough the first 3 times. So class #2 is tomorrow AM and I'm actually excited about it!
I think I need to DETOX! I'm starting today on a DETOX for 30 days.
Did you read Gweneth's latest musings on Detox?

It seems pretty natural just really challenging in terms of your withdrawals from the sugars and artificial ingredients you consume daily.
Here's my plan...
Detox - April 30 - May 30
- no alcohol ONLY water (that means no juice either)
- no white carbs (bread, cookies, sugars)
- no artifical sugars...1 piece of dark chocolate / week
- no red meat
- YES to veggies, fruits
- YES to fish
I need to be positive - consistent and committed to this goal and avoiding negative.
Bikini Season is almost here! Goal is to be down 10 pounds by our beach vacation at the end of June.
I think it's important to reward yourself in little ways for your accomplishments - even the small things really encourage me.
So, as I reach 5 pound losses (5, 10, 15, 20) - these are my reward ideas:
5 Pounds! End of May
Origins Salt Scrub - one of my most favorite body treatments, it smells incredible and is ultra moisturizing, perfect for sloughing off those winter scales!

10 Pounds! End of June
Birkenstock Gizeh Sandals in Black Patent
I've been in love with these for a year now and I think it's time to break down! I think they'll go with a ton of summer outfits and are super comfy but not too "birkenstock-ish".

I'll have to brainstorm the next 2!
15 Pounds! October - before our Nepal trip
20 Pounds! December
Have a good weekend!
