My 2010 personal goals

It’s time to embrace 2010 so I have set some pretty hefty goals for myself of things I quite possibly would like to accomplish this year.

Angie’s Rockin’ 2010 Healthy Living Personal Goals

  • Do a 5k (walking)
  • Do a 10k (walking)
  • Learn more about the vegetarian/vegan lifestyles while cutting down on processed foods and eating more whole foods (these are some of the things I will try to focus on: Resolve to Eat Right)
  • Lose 50-100 lbs and tons of inches (I would like to fit comfortably in a size 12 by the time we head back to Jamaica in December 2010)
  • Try new class at the gym
  • Participate in a different workout challenge every month (whether it’s my own blog challenge or others)
  • Strength training/Ab work 3x week

I know there is more I want to accomplish and I can update this list as I go along.  I really struggled weight wise in both ’08 & ’09 and just want to be able to learn to Embrace the Struggle this year.

My weeks vary but will look something like this:

Monday- Spin class

Tuesday- In home workout

Wednesday- Spin class

Thursday- In home workout

Friday- In home workout

Saturday- Wii Fit

Sunday- Spin class

It is my goal to do something active every day!

P.S.  Above I linked to the book, Embrace the Struggle by Zig Ziglar. I was given this book to review and found it so encouraging when others shared different ways they have struggled in their life.  Whether it be addiction, physical impairments, financial troubles, etc., it just showed me that everyone goes through tough times and CAN come out on the positive end.

I wish each and every one of you a wonderfully successful 2010!

 

Healthy living links this week

Here are a few healthy living links that I came across this week that I really enjoyed.  Hope you do as well.  If you found or published any interesting blog posts or articles this week on healthy living, please feel free to share.

What size should I be? (video)

Be sure to check out other posts and videos at Joy’s Winner or Whiner blog.  Oh and tell me how much you love her blog theme/template.  So cool!

Seasonal transformations message

Kimberly has some great tips for updating your kitchen when you shift your diet.

Would a tax on soda make your drink less?

I took the poll and voted no because I don’t drink soda anyway.  I still can’t believe it’s been over 4 years since I have up soda.  One of the best things I ever did for myself.

Do you drink soda?

And lastly, my friend Gina, The Fitnessista, who got my August Bloggy Love award is in OK at a raw cooking school and restaurant, 105 Degrees.  It’s so intriguing to follow her through this experience.  I haven’t eaten any of this type of food but I would love to try out that restaurant if I were in the area.  Here is one of the news clips about the restaurant.

Do you or have you ever eaten raw? What are your thoughts?

Happy Friday,

P.S.

Do you recommend any healthy living magazines?  I have heard that the EatingWell magazine is pretty good but would like to know of others you might recommend.  I have a minor magazine addiction.  Oh OK it’s a major one LOL
