Fitness

I want to talk about fitness today. 

2012 was a big year for me fitness-wise. There were some serious health goals that I accomplished (and some that I almost accomplished).

The keyword there: were.

I want to be honest here. Ever since my stress fracture, I have pretty much completely lost it. Some of that has to do with getting out of the routine. The other part has to do with switching jobs. Instead of working M-F 8-5, I'm working 9 hour days with every other Friday off.

And believe me, I am STOKED. But when I'm getting in to work at 7AM instead of 8, it's tougher to get to the gym in the morning.

I could honestly list a long list of excuses for you right now. And they all most of them make sense, but really, that doesn't matter.

I'm not as happy as I was before.

I have less energy.

I just don't feel like myself anymore.

For a solid 9 months of this year, I was feeling so much stronger than I ever have before. I may not have noticed a difference on the scale, but I could feel the difference.

And honestly? The only reason I wasn't seeing a difference on the scale was because of me. Was because of my diet choices.

You can only work off so many feasts of Mexican food, am I right?

I want to get back there. 

Screw waiting for New Years to make resolutions, I want to start now. 

And I want to do it better than before. Instead of throwing all of my energy into my work out routine, I want to focus some on making better diet choices too. I already cut out meat (still pesky and going strong!), so might as well make it count right? 

After all, subbing carbs and sweets for meat won't do the trick, will it?

So here's to change. 

Did it once. I can do it again.
