Ladies & gentlemen . . . in this corner, weighing in at 150 pounds, standing 5 feet, 5 inches is . . . ME!
So–the quick & dirty is this–I like to be light. Light in attitude, light in weight, etc. “Heavy” is only good for conversations about metaphysics and politics–in my opinion.
I haven’t been or felt light in about two years. Lots of work stress (my choice), social stress (my choice) and physical stress (bad habits–all my choice). So, I figured it’s time to make some better choices in my life. This summer of 2008, my goal is to do just that.
What are my goals exactly?
1. To lose 20 pounds. That puts me at 130. Not skull-tastic, but not too heavy for me. I want to be strong and lean, not a toothpick.
2. To quit smoking. I’ve been an off & on quitter for a few years. It’s not something that I really enjoy anymore. My life will be much-enhanced by quitting.
3. To workout four times a week. Not everyday, not six days–just four days. I’m not training for a marathon here–I just want to get fit and healthy.
4. To find my center. As a Buddhist, I find life to be more fulfilling when I’m still and centered. The breathing, the meditation–it’s all part of that.
Four things. Four things to make my life better. I don’t think that’s too much to ask of myself.
It all starts tomorrow (I have a thing about morning starts). I’m excited, nervous, confident, sad (yes, it’s hard to let go of letting yourself go), but, most of all, I’m ready. I’M READY!!!!
LOL, love the intro!! Very clever.
Good luck with your goals. You can do it!!!
