Happy New Year everyone! This year I am going to work on being a better me. I'm unhappy and a great friend helped me realize that I needed to talk to someone proffessionally about it. My first session is Tuesday and I'm anxious about what will happen. I really hope that it helps me deal with the issues that I have and helps make me a better girlfriend and just a better person all around.
One of the parts of me becoming a better me is losing weight. My unhappiness has made my weight balloon to a size I've never seen before. I'm at the heaviest I have ever been and it needs to stop. For Christmas the boy's parents sent me a Lululemon gift card. I decided to use it today to get a new workout outfit. I figure if I'm comfortable and I like what I have on I will spend more time working out and less time worrying about what people think about me and tugging on my clothes. Tomorrow will be my first day back to the gym since August. I've had spinning classes in the months in between but I didn't go to the gym once. I'm scared but excited to go back. Hopefully this time I will stick with it a little better, I know I have it in me I just need to believe in myself. This is all step one. Step two will be maintaining it and finding a way to enjoy it. I did just realize that I can download tv shows to my ipod touch so that should help make cardio a breeze!
What are some things you are going to try and work on in 2009?

Those Lululemon pants will make your ass look fantastic, no matter what size, I promise you that!
I, too, have to do something about my ass this year - my depression has also led to major weight gain this year. I'm dealing with it with drugs and focusing more on myself, as well as some therapy on the side.
Also, I signed a two-year contract on a gym near my house and work, so the plan is to go at least three times a week and work my way up from there. Want to be my virtual workout buddy? We can do it!!
I'm going to get more active, eat better (less crap, more fruits/vegetables) and TRY to ease off on the square-headed girlfriends. And read more books.
I have been reading these books by Mercedes Lackey which are generally set in medieval times. There's lots of writing about sword fighting, weapons training, and the courses her characters are put through and their tired achy muscles, but beyond that... they all look lean and fantastic...
Oddly, it's really inspiring!!
