So far a nice start

After the week before Christmas, where I gained 5 pounds (yes 5 pounds in a week) and a Jamaican vacation, where I gained another 5 pounds, this month has turned itself around.  I have lost 7.8 pounds of that and could lose the last 2.2 by the end of the month, though I would think that's pushing it.

Hubby and I joined the local YMCA and I have done a pretty good job of getting my butt there!  The first week, I managed to get there Tuesday through Thursday where I did my two 30 minute runs on the treadmill, used the bike and took an abs class.  This past week I made it Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  I had Monday off, but I still got there and used the bike and elliptical.  Tuesday, I hit the treadmill for a 30 minute run and the bike for 30 minutes.  Skipped Wednesday for no good reason... Then Thursday did 25 minutes on the bike and took a kickboxing class.  AWESOME class!  Looking forward to doing that one again!  Today, I have to do a 6 mile run on the indoor track because Mother Nature decided 5" of snow was a good idea yesterday...

I'm working harder at planning meals ahead of time so we aren't always running for sandwiches.  Sometimes the meals are planned and we change what's on the schedule, but overall we are getting better at not going weekday to the store for something.  That's a  plus.  Saves a bit of money and gives us more control over what we're eating.

2011 was a pretty good year for me health wise.  I'm hoping 2012 continues the trend!
