I had a very good week! I did my Egoscue, SparkPeople Bootcamp strength training and cardio (elliptical or yoga) every single day (except Sunday, my day of rest, when I ring quartet handbells and normal handbells covering 2 positions – a bit of a workout right there).

I also ate well, until I spent Sunday evening hanging out with a few friends and got into the peanut brittle after eating a grilled cheese sandwich.

The exciting part is that 3 of those days I even got up early and worked out first thing in the morning (more convenient in a number of ways, but hard to do at 5:45am).

I did NOT do that this morning, but I have time to work something in before the day is over.

Here’s to another good week!

This is my first update.

I’ll use this to catch up from December 15.

My goals: Egoscue 6 days a week; yoga or other exercise 4 or 5 days a week; no white powders in my diet.

Stats for week of Dec 15-21

• Egoscue – 5 days
• Yoga – 3 days
• Diet – let’s not talk about that right now

Stats for week of Dec 22-28

• Egoscue – 6 days!
• Yoga – 4 days
• Diet – we still aren’t talking about that, it’s Christmas week!

Stats for week of Dec 29-Jan 4

• Egoscue – 7 days!!
• Yoga or other cardio – 6 days
• Diet – Let’s jump to Jan 1 – I’ve done pretty well in 2009!

I weighed myself on Jan 2, 139.5 lbs. I would prefer being between 125 and 130, but mainly I just want the waist to look better.

This is my resolution every year and I do a middlin’ job of it every year. Every day is a new chance, so I always get back up and try again.

For 2009 I will post weekly progress on Monday.

M pledge:

I will do something every week with 3 main areas of focus:

• Egoscue for my posture 6 days a week;
• yoga, walking, or other exercise 4 to 5 days a week;
• continue to cut out white flour, white sugar, salt (the 3 white powders), no hydrogenated oils and no high fructose corn syrup (Corn Refiner’s Association ads notwithstanding, I still prefer to cut out HFCS).

Total goal: lose some of that blob around the waist. I hope to replace some of the fat with muscle so I’m not hooked on a specific weight goal.

Start date: I can actually say I started on Dec 15 (so I have a head start for 2009)
