resolution time...

1. become a runner. not a marathon runner just enough to be able to run a 5k by my 31st birthday. so maybe this should say become a jogger.

2. i should say stop drinking cokes. just none at all, but i really love them, so i'm going to say only have one sweetened beverage of the non-alcohol (don't worry-getting to alcohol later) kind per week.

3. stop eating crappy fast food. makes you feel yuck. makes you tired. makes you super fat. however, since i do really love some chick-fil-a, i'm going to allow myself one chick-fil-a meal per month. and no pretending that i'm going to go to cfa or mcdonald's and get grilled chicken sandwiches and no fries. i usually can't control myself and end up eating something fried with a side of fries. no good.

4. make a healthy nice dinner every night. i realize we'll go out to eat sometimes. and i realize i might want to make chicken parmesan one night, but shoot for 6 healthy meals with vegetables. 2 meals per week without meat. at least one meal per week with healthy fish. plan, shop and prep on sunday. no excuses if everything is ready. make enough for lunch leftovers.

5. oatmeal for breakfast every single morning.

6. at least 30 min. of exercise 4 days/week. 6 days would be better, but 4 should be minimum. 3 days of strength training per week. make up some kind of chart with reps and weights and all that crap outlined and keep up with it. one yoga class and one pilates class per week. also, try two new classes/month at the ymca. find something that is fun and works. walk around the track at work one time during my work day. stretching. get a good stretch in as soon as i'm home from work and gym. i've become so not flexible at all over the past couple of years. ridiculous.
