The little devil :devil: on my shoulder is telling me that since I indulged during Christmas that I might as well enjoy myself this week and start fresh after the new year.

Instead, I've decided that I want to end the year with a positive week and give myself a running head start for the new year. I'm committing myself to log everything (good or bad) this week and exercise every day. I'll post daily updates to keep myself accountable.

Let me know if anyone would like to join me.

Also, I'd apprecate any encouragement. There are still homemade Chirstmas tamales in the kitchen, Yikes!

    I'm with you as well! I gave myself a three-day 'holiday' for Xmas Eve, Xmas and Boxing Day. As of the 27th, though, the gloves were off. Time to start eating better. Spent all day yesterday using the Wii balance board to play various fitness games. Am HURTING today, I must say, lol! I'm determined to start this new year off right.

    Great plan. I think a 3 hour workout Friday will "pay" for your Thursday night party. Keep logging!

    Well day one I did well on my food, but didn't manage to get any exercise in. Today I'll hit both goals.

    Handling the food part is the more difficult of the two.

    um, if you say you're "going out swinging" it's a boxing term meaning you aren't giving up. surely you knew this?

    Common sense and context would make it obvious that this was not the intended message. Get a grip!:flowerforyou:
