The New Year, Day 1

I relaxed and vacationed over Christmas. I did the same over Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately, I also relaxed my exercise and eating.  Sometimes you have to cut loose, pig out and take a break from all exercise to avoid burnout and live a little.  But the sensible person doesn't take too many days off...it is too easy for it to turn into weeks off, months off, and to never get re-started.  I'm anything but a sensible person, but I am trying....so today is the day for me to start back up. Unfortunately, I've always been an all or nothing kind of person.  It is time to get back to being in "all" mode rather than "nothing."

So what are your goals for this year?  My first specific goal is to jog an extra 5 miles per week on average this year.  Baby steps.
