2011; The year of the Gallant

This morning I awoke feeling peaceful, a little hungover, and happy.  A pretty good place to be, minus the mild headache.
Happy New Year to my Sisters reading this blog, I raise my coffee mug in a toast to all of us who have made a commitment to ourselves. 
I have started this journey by doing a few radical changes in my life...

• I joined Weight Watchers.  For real, this time.  

I have decided that I need to give it a chance, which I have NEVER done before.  I have joined numerous times in the past.  Always with some half-assed attempt, always thinking 'I know better' always trying to figure out how I can continue to be an unhealthy person and still lose weight.  Not this time sister!  I will go to the meeting every week, Wednesday's at 5:15.  I will weigh in no matter how I'm feeling about myself that day.  I will be honest with my food journal, AND with myself. 

• I turned my guest room in a Yoga/Meditation studio. 

I will be finishing this project this weekend.  I am painting it, decorating it, all to create a space that is just for me.  No husband, no dog, no phone, no computer, alllll mine.

The one thing that I will continue with is exercising.  I LOVE to exercise.  I cannot believe that I have become addicted to it, but I have.  I love feeling strong and capable.  I love running out of breath and feeling exhausted afterwards.  I have been consistently active for a year now, and I will continue to do so.  It is what keeps me sane.

My biggest challenge and what I am dedicating myself to this year is food, and my relationship with it.  What I eat, why I eat, when I eat, being aware of all of it. 

At the end of this year I will have lost 60 lbs, wear designer jeans, and have an amazing ass. 

Today, I am going to the store, to re-evaluate my household food supply. 

I wish you love, success, health and peace.  xoxo -Gallant
