Happy New Year

RESOLUTIONS for 2004:
1. Spend less time worrying about what will be and more time just being.
I believe I accomplished this one.

2. Spend more time reading to my children.
Done - 30-60 minutes just about every night!

3. Work hard every week toward my new fitness goals.
Except when sick - done!

4. Love on my hubby on a daily basis (by love on I mean praise and appreciate... its good for the boy-ego).
I'll have to check with him to see if there was an effect, but I will count this one as done.

5. Remeber the lessons of Martin Buber (he's a philosopher, if you want to know: google) and work to eliminate the I-It relationships in my daily life and replace them with I-Thou relationships.
Again... done.

FITNESS GOALS for 2004:
1. Get my bodyfat under 20%. This didn't happen... but my lowest reading of 21% was pretty damned close if you ask me.

2. Do one pull up (If that is accomplished before June, then do 5 in succession by December). Done - but only 1 in the August/September timeframe.

3. Deadlift REPS at 1.5x bodyweight (ie. 10 reps)
This did not happen... goals changed... but that's ok, I've still got somthing to shoot for this year.

4. Run a 1/2 Marathon... (still debating this one)
Nope... signed up, trained, got sick... suck.

5. Compete in 2 triathlons.
Also a No-Go. Having the one that I really wanted to do get canceled threw me off, but it is entirely my responsibility for not getting back on the horse.

6. Do 30 pushups on toes in succession. (boy pushups)
Done.

Theres my recap of the goals for this year... I have maintained a 45lb weight loss for about a year now. I still have more fat I want to loose and more muscle I want to gain... but I need to take some time thinking about my fitness goals for this year as reality has shifted a bit for me this year and I'll have other things to take into account as I move forward in my fitness.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year holiday. I had a fabulous anniversary (tho no gift yet... hmmm....) and a wonderful stay at home new-year... kissed my hubby full on the lips as the clock changed over in our little portion of the country and remembered just how lucky I am to be who I am and where I am in this life.

There is no time like the present to take that first step forward... today, do somthing TODAY for your health... for your wellbeing... for your fitness... for your future... and if you don't think you deserve it, you're fooling yourself.
