Fresh start

Okay, so I haven't been very good at my exercising or my eating habits, so I have decided (maybe this is stupid, but maybe not) to start over fresh on Sunday.

At work, we are having a wellness challenge that starts on Sunday, and you earn prizes for points.  You get points for doing things such as getting 8 hours of sleep at night, drinking plenty of water, exercising 30 minutes a day, etc.  I think if I start out fresh, I'll be motivated and more willing to do this. 

So, starting Sunday, here we go again!  :D

Counting Calories

I have been thinking about it lately, and I really want to be in shape again.  I was pretty good while I was on the swim team, but I miss those days and I have really just been...eh.  So, I have decided to watch what I eat a little bit more, and to exercise a whole lot more.

I found a website that is FREE (bonus!) and it helps you count calories and it also shows you your "healthy" weight range.  I need to lose 70lbs in order to be in that range!  At first I was a little worried, but I lost 20 lbs on the swim team in 6 months, so I know I can do it :).

And then today, I saw that our company is issuing a "wellness challenge."  It basically is just to motivate us to eat more veggies and fruits, and to exercise more.  I thought "what a great motivation to something I'm already trying to do!"  There are prizes, and even an iPod Nano is one of them!  :D

I am so excited for this, especially when it gets warm.  I think I want to start swimming laps, and I also want to get up early when it gets warm and go jogging.  I think it'll be so awesome!
