Happy New Year!

1 Jan

concert hall

We celebrated nye by going to a wonderful concert. This was officially the last photo taken of me for the year. I gained—uff..I gained..I can’t say it. I weighed myself this morning and well..I think I broke my plateau..lol Albeit in the wrong direction!

Today’s official weigh in is 96.4 kg (hangs head in shame)Dec31-Jan1 2013

I know a couple of those kilos is just from being bloated. I’ve had a lot of alcohol these past few days. So many liquid calories being guzzled down without a care. Still..from the last weigh in..that’s a lot of weight to put on in just one month! I am so good at it and I can’t break the habit. Like I said..this month was awful. Just temptation everywhere. Guess I didn’t learn my lesson and I went a bit off track. I had planned on wearing a killer outfit for this evening. I knew it just wasn’t going to be possible. The dress still zipped up but I looked like a ridiculously stuffed sausage in heels. The heels were too bloody uncomfortable to be running around in them for so long so I changed into something more casual.

But that was last year! I am starting my year with a little detox shake diet. Just to get my sugary cravings and digestion back on track. All this sugar and alcohol are poison to my body and you can see it on the bloated face I have going on. I managed to go jogging a few times in December which wasn’t close enough to get myself back into my workout routine. My husband really wants to jog with me but I’m having the hardest time trying to jog with him. His legs are way longer and he takes longer strides and goes way faster than my shorty legs can take me. While he pushes me to go faster, I also lose my rhythm and pace. This results in me needing to stop more often to catch my breath and it seems more like I’m sprinting and it makes both of us laugh. We end up laughing more than actually running! Not sure how to calculate laughing as calorie burning..lol

reflectionI don’t have new years resolutions either by the way. I know that seems to be the rule at this time – for people to have resolutions and such. But I don’t think that matters anyway. You will either do things or you wont. Professing them to the world doesn’t change much for many. All I can hope for is to have a healthy, fit and fun year filled with new adventures and laughter. I have a lot of change coming my way in the next few months and I can’t wait to experience it.

2013 is going to be a very good year! I wish you all the best and that this year brings you health, happiness and joy!

    Happy New Year! I’m not one to make new resolutions. i totally agree with you…you either decide to do something or you simply don’t. You were so successful in 2012….I just know it’s going to be another great year for you and your goals. Happy New Year Kari! Stay strong!

    Sometimes I think that if we make resolutions, we’re more likely to break them. Rules were made to be broken, right? Don’t feel too bad about gaining over the holiday – You have the drive to work it out. :)

      Yup! every time I ever made resolutions I ended up giving up within a day or two. I think I rather just do what feels right and eventually it will all come together. I’m a fool for reverse psychology..tell me I can’t do something and I will show you!..lol Hope you had wonderful holidays..here’s to another great year :)
