I haven't come up with a definite plan for my new healthy life. I have made a few rules and am implementing them. But I should probably find more structure. Working on it.
Spring cleaning came early this year. I am still working on my apartment a little... but have accomplished much. I get restless in my living space and in the past have just alleviated that by moving. These days I rearrange my furniture. (Pat me on the back next time you see me for living on the same block for 5 years!!)
I bought a huge bookshelf at Ikea:
And this cool lighting:
I put the lighting on top of my half wall and it looks fab. And I put all my bookshelves all together on my back wall and I will proceed to call that my library. :)
Next on my list is to completely reorganize my closet. I need a big trip to Goodwill.

Jen - I guess we should make a trip over to see the spruced up place. Gina
Jen, I've gone back on the weight watchers plan since the first of the year. It has actually gone pretty well. But there is a certain amount of self-denial that is always a bummer with this kind of a program. But I've set some fitness goals - and they are going to be so much easier if I loose some weight! So wish me luck.
What I haven't done - is I haven't gotten much of the other parts of my life organized.
Congrats on that Max. It's a hard step to take. I struggle with-- I know the plan, I've done it before, so it's not as motivating so I don't stick with it. I did the best with it when I had a really difficult class situation and I didn't have control of much else in my life...but I COULD control what I ate. I'm rooting for you!
maybe it's becuz I'm old, but I don't wrorry so much about my weight anymore. I am so much more than that number on the scale. I find that I do the best tho when I just make smart choices and listem to my body. If I'm full, I quit eating rather than feeling it necessary to finish whats on my plate cuz I bought it. A
One of my goals this year is to re-run the St. George Marathon in October - and to it uninjured. That will be so much easier if I loose 30 pounds between now and that day. So that is my motivation. I can run it - and be in pain and miserable. Or I can run it - and be miserable - just not quite as much pain because I'm not carrying an additional 30 pound backpack!
Of course - this is all theory at this point - since it is still early and the druggery of plan hasn't quite sunk in.
Max and Gina -
I think that it is pretty dang awesome that you guys run marathons. It has been something that I have always wanted to do but I let things get in the way. I figure that maybe once my kiddo's are a little bit older I might be able to train better. Right now I am struggling to make it to the gym on a consistent basis but who can blame me 4:30 comes so early.
