It's a New Year! Getting started all over again.

I'm not sure about everyone else out there who struggles to lose weight or get in shape, but I feel like I start over again at least once a week.

And now, with the holiday hurdle behind me, and having been settled back into my regular routine for a week, it's past time to get myself back on track (for real) with my exercise program.

So. A quick status update, and then on I go, into a bright new year!

I am very impressed with myself and how well I managed to do over the holidays. I took my workout gear and my yoga app with me, and I managed to do yoga once or twice a day for at least half of my holiday. Plus, I did get on a treadmill once, and I also was actually careful about my snacking while I was at home!!

(Read patting on back here...)

And so, when I got home and weighed myself, I was pleased to see that I had not in fact gained any weight (other than the three lbs I put on during the office christmas party tour the week before I left) and when I weighed myself again the Saturday after I got back, I was very happy to see that I was back down 1 lb.

Which brings me to this week, and what should have been my first week back on what has become a fairly rigorous workout plan.

I went to the gym Monday and Tuesday, and have not been back since. I have my workout gear with me, so need to get there tonight before I go home, and again tomorrow sometime either before or after picking up a bed with my room mate.

This year, my first workout program includes a 5K Running program (3 days of running and 2 days of cross-training/week), a continuation of three break-in strength training workouts a week, 3 daily planks of increasing duration, and morning and evening yoga routines.

The plan is that this program will last for 10 weeks, or until the end of March.
