Good Morning Folks,

I was just looking at a Yosemite Packet...I think I would like to go there for my birthday. Its a beautiful place to go and is great place to be active. I want to be active.

Last night Hector said that he wanted to run a Marathon. I agreed and was like "yeah...sounds like a cool idea". He thought I was being sarcastic and told me he was serious about it. Uhh..me too. I mean, its true, how many people agree with you when you say you want to run a marathon? lol Right before I got pregnant with my son I was losing weight. That year, my resolution was to train for a marathon and run one or at least half of one by the end of the year...cause those suckers are crazy long. So I told Hector that and he was like..."So we should run one in June or so...how many miles are they?" and OMG was he ever suprised at the length and continued on to say that he would probably just pass out after 3 miles haha. So I told him...thats why you have to train! So we will see. Running isn't my favorite exercise, but its a really good one for cardiovascular health. It will be good for us.

Also, I have recently joined the Weight Loss Challenge again...gaining after the holidays of course. =/ My work has also started one and I have started one within my family. So therefore, I am in 3. Crazy. I better win all 3 so I will be in the $$! haha. I have made a goal of 50lbs by my birthday, which is a lot but I think that its feasable. I mean, if you break that down in to 4 months that is roughly 12lbs a month, broken down into 4 weeks is about 3 lbs a week. I doubt I will reach that goal (3 lbs a week steady seems crazy), but I think its a good goal to reach for and even if I don't make that 50lb mark by then, i'm sure I will make great progress.

I didn't make weight loss my New Years resolution because its far more than that and it will eventually turn into more of a lifestyle than a diet. People who make weight loss their resolutions need to lose like 10 lbs or something like that, or something that will end and be fairly easy to accomplish within the first two months. So I have chosen the letter P as my New Years Resolution. This year is brought to you by...the letter P. lol Actually, the reason I say this is because I have chosen several things that I believe will be tools to self improvement, and they all start with the letter P. Such as being more Positive, Productive, Patient and many more, but I think those are the main three. Hopefully all these good habits I plan to impliment will stick in the long run.

Anyhow, I have done enough aimless writing for today. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend and that all of your New Years Resolutions are working out well.

Thanks for reading,

Cristina
