Second of my Resolution Categories, "Health". I do fairly good on these usually, all the way up till about October when things start getting wobbly.
  • YMCA - Getting to the YMCA is easier for me during the school year, because I can just drop Molly off at school and then - since I'm already up and wearing pants - stop at the YMCA for a quick cardio workout. Weekends, breaks and vacations screw me up here, but my goal is to get to the YMCA at least 4 times each week. Any days I don't get to the YMCA, there needs to be something else that's a good 20 minutes of activity - Playing a dancing game on the 360, mowing the lawn, taking a walk, whatever.
  • COOKING LIGHT - the first issue of our TWO YEAR SUBSCRIPTION to Cooking Light Magazine came this past week, and my goal is to cook at least ONE MEAL PER WEEK from a recipe in that magazine. Molly and Crystal will have to help me out in choosing what they would like to eat :)
  • KINDA VEGETARIAN - I've meant to do this for a while now, seeing as how I've noticed that a lot of my constant state of Poor Health stems from meat in one way or another, but this year I'm going "Kinda Vegetarian". This means that when/if there is a NATURALY meatless option in what I eat - no soy crumbles, no tofurkey, no "Field Loaf" vegetarian versions of meat products - I'll go with that option. But if meat is the only thing available, I WILL NOT be that person who says "Oh I can't eat THAT, I'm a VEGETARIAN". You put bacon on my salad? Cool, I'll have bacon. We're having BBQ Ribs? Cool, I'll have one. In order of preference, it will go: No Meat, Fish, Pork, Chicken, Beef. But a big part of this is to try and avoid beef (causes flare-ups of too many things for me), so I may end up skipping meals if the only option is beef.
  • STAY INDOORS - Every year at around springtime, my family and I get guilted in to thinking we should spend more time outdoors, and every year we all get super-sick because we all have terrible allergies. The outdoors is trying to kill us! And so I feel that it's up to me to find healthy indoor alternatives. I'm not entirely sure what these alternatives may be just yet... the YMCA? Chuck E. Cheese? Not sure yet...
  • MY FITNESS PAL - This little website/app worked WONDERS for us last year, but I stopped using it just before Thanksgiving because I was expecting a munchier-than-usual holiday season. It tracks calories and exercise for me, and it's the best way I've found to keep track of what I'm eating :)
