2012 Bucket List

What do you want to do before the end of the 2012? Does not have to be limited to weightloss, ANYTHING!

I want to:

Feel good about me!
Lose at least 25lbs.
Try the new sushi restaraunt (yummmm!)
Get through the Fall semester still sane!

What are you thinking? I sure could use some ideas!

    - Get skinny and fit by the end of the year!

    - Get rid off all the desire to eat unhealthy stuff. (I won't touch it now, but the desire is still there.)

    - Start running outside.

    - Buying new clothes some time before the end of the year. (when I reach my desired weight, right now I have almost nothing that fits anymore)

    - Try out super yummy and healthy recipes I've collected :)

    Hi, there !

    In addition to the usual goals of eating better. moving more, and weighing less ......

    I'd just like to get through the Labor Day weekend in one piece ....... we host our annual family clambake/BBQ ...... and my husband invites his entire family ...... that's close to 100 people ....... and SOME of those people drive me insane !

    I'm in need of some sedatives :laugh:

    Climb the stairs of the Sears Tower - 110 Floors (Nov 1st is my plan!)

    Hi, there !

    ^
    OK, I made it through our party ...... no sedatives needed, just a few glasses of Sangria :drinker:

    But all that "taste-testing" created a monster ........ I've been craving bread & sugar & pasta ..... need to get back on track, and the best way is to have NO bread, NO sugar, and NO pasta for the next few weeks ...... because if I can't nip this in the bud, it will be a rough road with the holidays coming !

    Doing at least 2 things before the end of this MONTH .....

    After following a South Beach way of eating for nearly 4 years, I can see by the state of my pantry that things have taken a turn for the worse ...... to nip this in the bud, I'm redoing Phase 1 ...... which just means staying away from sugar, baked goods, regular pastas, white rice, jarred sauces & anything loaded with salt & sugar for awhile..... I've done it several times & it helps to get me back on track ....... but it's funny how quickly "bad" food creeps back into my life ..... I have no recollection of buying any of it :laugh:

    My second goal is commiting to 15 minutes of yoga each morning at home, either following a TV program or a video on my laptop ...... and no, this doesn't replace going to the gym !

    JUST DO IT !

    Well, I did start Phase 1 of South Beach (2 weeks no sugar, bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, booze, baked goods, etc) ..... the only thing I miss is fruit, especially my daily Granny Smith apple ...... but on Monday I can add that back ........ honestly, I feel much better from this sugar "cleanse" ...... just in time to deal with the holidays :happy:

    Also, I started yoga each morning ..... just some gentle stretching to get the blood moving ....... but not always 15 minutes ..... depends on my schedule, sometimes it's 10 mins & sometimes 60 ..... it's all good !

    So, for me, September's been a huge success !
