A fresh start

So it has been eons since I have done 2 things. Blogged & exercised. Thank goodness a new year has begun - this is always the mental renewal time of year.
Each year I have the same resolutions. Lose weight, exercise more & quit smoking. I have one of those resolutions accomplished - I have been smoke free for over 2 years now! Yeah!!! Now the other 2 are a bit more tiresome. Tiresome in the sense that I am so over putting them on a list each year. I was hoping by this time things would have been a"habit" and not wishful thinking. But as it is we are at square one once again.
My plan is pretty simple. I am going to follow Weight Watchers for my nutrition plan. I've done WW before with great results so I'm pretty hopeful. As for the fitness part of it all, I've signed up for Pilates twice a week & plan on running a minimum of 3 times/wk.

Training

I seriously need to get on the ball here. Maybe I need to listen to more podcasts & read more blogs for inspiration. Reading tweets of those who run in this humid muck is very inspiring (crazy too). I had all intentions of getting up early & running. Honest! But the comfy-ness of my bed prove to be stronger than the Force. *sigh* maybe tomorrow.
