Birthday Blog Part One

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to me!

Alrighty gang, it is officially my birthday.

My day has lots of fun in store including a special breakfast made by my adorable hubby, a day at the museum looking at dinosaurs and a cool pirate exhibit, and a birthday dinner.

Of course birthdays go hand in hand with food treats, but in a way this is a great way to incorporate balance right from the start. Somewhere in my day of celebrating I will throw in a dose of my week one goal: MOVE EVERY DAY.

Yes, I decided that my main goal for the first week of my one year challenge will be to make the effort to exercise in some way every day whether it be an additional walk, time on my elliptical, or a work out DVD. I think this is the perfect way to gently reintroduce myself to working out and kick off my journey!

I am feeling lots of emotions as I stand at the starting line: excitement, nervousness, fear, pride, anxiousness, and curiosity. I am reminding myself to take this one day at a time, to be forgiving, to stay positive and to enjoy the ride.

  1. I think a before picture is in order here! You cannot start a 1-year journey and not have a before picture! Preferably, this would be a picture of you in a bikini, but I'm not some sicko weirdo stalker looking for you to strip down. But it will help us to know where you are coming from!
