Tomorrow I will change the name of my blog. 2011 has turned out to be a great year. I finally got my act together in July of 2011 and have lost a little over 28 pounds. That is huge for me. I have for the last couple of years complained about my weight and been embarrassed about it, but haven't done anything that lasted more than a few days of dieting. I think I've finally figured it out, and am learning to change my eating habits long term. I've become educated more so through an iPhone app called Fooducate about how bad the processed foods are that most of us eat all the time. It really has me reconsidering my food choices.
This morning we picked Colin up from winter camp. When I took him on Tuesday he told me this was his last time of going to camp. He didn't want to go anymore. When we picked him up this morning, his counselor said "see you this summer". And Colin said "for sure". He then proceeded to tell us he was going back. He has been going for so many years, and has made some life long friends -- I can't imagine him not going. I hope one day he returns as a camp counselor. i think he would be great to the new kids.
Clint and I made it to the gym around 2:30 today. I ran/walked for 55 minutes -- 4 1/2 miles. My final workout of December, 2011. 17 workouts in December. I'm happy with that. Clint is talking about doing the Milwaukee marathon again next fall. I will not be doing a marathon in 2012. I'd rather cheer him on and offer support while he trains. I have no desire to train for a 26.2 miler any time soon. Maybe I'll try for a 1/2 this year :)
Happy New Year!!
