New Year's Resolutions: to make one, or not to make one, that is the question.
Do you go through the agonizing thought process of what you really want to accomplish this year, or do you just accept those five extra pounds you added last year and continue with your daily life?
I took the adventurous route and decided to make a New Year's resolution this year.
Of course it's always the cliché resolution, to lose weight, but I also decided that this was the year I was really going to stick to the diet and exercising - right after Christmas vacation ended.
Why waste the perfectly good two weeks left of my break with the agonizing thought of working out and eating healthy when I would just be starting a new routine when I got back to school?
So I ate what I normally ate, and drank what I normally drank, and really didn't bother to watch what I ate because I knew once I got back to school, I would be kicking my butt back into shape.
Jan. 16 rolled around way too quickly for my liking.
Soon I was exchanging my bowl of cereal in for Special K bars and my iced tea for bottled water. Instead of relaxing in a recliner and channel surfing, I was now doing crunches and walking on the treadmill.
My days of eating what I wanted and not working out are long gone, and I am now in for the long haul.
I'm ready, and all I have to say is, bring it on 2007, bring it on!
