Routines, routines, routines... oh how I've missed you! Welcome back to my life. Please don't leave anytime soon.
Christmas is over. New Year is over. 2012 is upon us, and it's the first day going back to work.
This is gonna be a year shock full of confidence. I can feel it. I feel that I am ready to take on the world, to get going and get started. I love this feeling.
I truly welcome getting up at 4:30 in the morning, doing my exercises before shower and breakfast, and simply just doing right.
I am all prepared for the day. Food is prepped, and I am enjoying my breakfast while petting the kitty in my lap and writing my journal. Lunch is also prepped, entered in the calorie counter, as are snacks as well. All that I need to work out is what Wife wants for dinner. All doubt about what to eat and what I can afford in terms of calories has been removed. I love that. Planning ahead is absolutely the way to go.
I'm curious to see how much work is waiting for me when I get there this morning. I hope it's not TOO much - it's been 10 days away, so there might be a good bunch of stuff. I have a feeling that it'll be a busy that. That's okay - time passes quickly when we're busy.
After work, I will be going to the gym. Clothes is packed and ready. No excuses, not even if I am tired. Going to the gym HELPS when I'm tired. This is what I have to remember.
The holidays has really been a needed break for me in so many ways. Both on work, music and other things, but also the weight loss journey. I've had focus in a different way, and I think it's been good for me. I've gotten the exercises more under my skin, and I think it'll keep up with it.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday I will go to the gym. This is how it fits best with my other plans. Tuesday, no gym due to me teaching. That's a little exercise in itself.
Thursday, I work late. I will simply use my exercise bike on Thursdays, as I will on the weekends. Weekends at my house are usually quiet, watching the shows from the week and maybe a few movies. A great time to be on the bike!
So there you have it. Daily exercise. How about that! Those of you who's been following my journal know that not very long ago I was impossible to get going on exercise. 2012 is gonna be different. This is my goal, and it's a goal I will accomplish.
So how about the weigh in? Well, I lost weight since yesterday, about 400g. I'm at 84.2 kgs today - which I still find very high for today. It's okay though, New Year's eve was a LOT of calories, alcohol, desserts and such, and it'll take a few days to detox. Let's see what happens. I'm sure I'll reach a new low this week. Maybe even reach 80? Let's try!
I slept great last night - finally got some sleep after days (nights) of not much sleep. So today I feel recharged, and full of energy. What an awesome way to start the new year's work. Let's hope this will be a new trend.
So, have I made a decision on the whole Daughter's present dilemma? Actually, I have. I talked to Wife a little more about it. 18th birthday is a BIG day, and this is when she'll get her gift. It's a quite expensive thing, and there isn't really anything we can top it with, or afford topping it with, so she will have to wait. She has NO idea it's coming, so she doesn't know what she's "missing out" on. Daughter is rarely out of her room, other than getting ready in the mornings, or when we eat dinner. She's probably hardly gonna notice that we have them sitting around if we are a little careful. Mine will be used a lot in bed when I can't sleep, at work and other places where she is not around. Same with Wife. I'm not too concerned if Daughter discovers it. If she DOES, and asks, I'll just pretend that we treated ourselves to them, and leave it at that. Let her get a little jealous. Maybe even let her get a little taste, so she can see a need (which I know she will instantly). So the plan is, as it originally was, to buy it, make it 100% ready for her, and hand it to her at the restaurant on her b-day. It'll be ready to go, movies, programs, music, internet, the works, and fully charged so she can mess with it on the train home. I think it's a good solution, even if it means keeping our traps shut for two months. I can do it. I hope Wife can. She is horrible at secrets and presents. :)
Today I am thankful for - 4:30 AM ENERGY! - Coffee! - Being back on normal schedule. - Eggs for breakfast. - A little weight loss with a potential bigger one coming soon. Low fat % hints it! - A nice, personal message from Carol. Thanks, Carol!
Have a great day, my friends! It's the first work day of what will be an AWESOME year!
Life is good!
