One of my New Year's resolutions is to try to write more for the blog. I really miss it and it brings me great joy (especially when someone leaves a comment - hint hint), so I'm going to try to carve more time out for this.
Other things for 2010??
- South Beach Diet starts January 4th. Since I've complained that my weight was out of control, I've managed to gain 10 more pounds. I've never done South Beach before so this should be fun. I need to lose 20 by June. Pam is doing it as well, but she always has really good luck with these things. It's more of a struggle for me, but I'm going to try. If it doesn't work, I'm thinking of having my jaw wired. Plus, all the stars are aligned. First of the year, first of the month, and a Monday. It's pretty much fool proof except for that whole no wine for two weeks part of the program. Everyone here is bracing for the impact.
- Signed up for a triathlon on April 17th, so training pretty much starts Monday.
- Might do a 1/2 Marathon on April 24th with the family in Nashville. It's the weekend after aforementioned triathlon, so I'm concerned I won't be able to walk. This race is a definite maybe.
- Triathlon on May 15th in Las Vegas.
- Pumpkinman triathlon in October.
- 1/2 Marathon in Las Vegas in December.
Well, that's the plan for now. I'm never going to finish the races unless I lose the weight. Waddling into the finish line is not a good thing. You get the courtesy clapping and the, "Good job - you're almost there." Ugh. I want, "Hey, you're on fire. Way to finish strong." I just hope I don't get faint while trying to train and diet. Those people do it on The Biggest Loser. I'm ready for someone to write a tell-all book about that place and how people lose the weight. I think they have little lipo machines sucking stuff out before the weigh-ins. That's really the only way to explain it.
Happy New Year! I'm so ready for this year to be over and for great things in 2010. This year is going to be awesome - I can feel it!
