So Far...
Ok.... before I start... I am on a total roll with my blog resolution. Third day of 2008 and my third post.
So anyways, so far, I am doing pretty darn good on my diet/lifestyle change. Of course, I've only been at it for a whopping three days. BUT, in those three days, I have stopped snacking (unless you count carrots and well, I'm not going to count them since they're good for me!), I've been drinking at least 64 oz of water a day, and for the last two days, I've gotten my arse on the treadmill. Only for 15 and 16 minutes respectively... but at least I'm on it, right? The first few minutes really tell me how out of shape I am... but by the end, I feel like I could probably go for a few more. But I'm taking it slow...
I think I've almost got hubby talked into letting me join the YMCA too. WOO! He is a little worried about finances after the Christmas holiday but he knows how much I want to join. So we'll see. If I join, the first thing I'm going to do is sign up for a yoga class (which reminds me... I need to see when registration is... hopefully, I haven't missed it?!!?). I honestly think the yoga I did last time I dieted was one of the big factors in my success.
One thing I'm actually considering for the first time is running/walking a 5K. There is one in April at the church when my moms' group is located. Not sure if I'll take the leap and do it. I guess it'll depend on how well I keep up with my new exercise regimen.....

Good luck with the weight loss! I hope you can join the Y and take your Yoga class!
Have you ever tried Pilates? Not sure if your YMCA offers Pilates Classes, but there are some great DVD's out there (around $10). It's great for toning too.
As for the 5K, I think it's awesome. I want to run in a marathon (okay, maybe half marathon) but I am VERY much so out of shape and I really haven'r ran in almost 10 years. Good luck to you!

Shay, funny you should mention that! Yesterday, I checked out the Y online and called and signed up as a non-member for a Pilates/Yoga class! It starts Monday!
