Break is edning...

Well, my winter break was great! I got to go to SC and visit grandparents, uncles, an aunt, and cousins. Then I went to Cali to visit with my love and her family. Also over the break I was offered the position of an RA on campus. While this is a very exciting position it will also come with its fair share of stress and I will need even more support to get through healthy.

On to the Resolution...

I haven't really started doing to much yet. With all the traveling, and now moving and training for the RA position, I figured it would be easiest to start my resolution when I got settled in here at the Peabs.

So, what have I done?
I have been conscious about what I've been eating; trying to eat good portion sizes, mixtures of protein, veggies, and fruits. I purchased some free weights to have in my room. They aren't for building muscle necessarily but just to have some weights staring at me and begging me to be used. I have decided to not use any elevator unless I am carrying something heavy. Hopefully this is a good start and will help me along into the beginning of the real resolution.

While I was out walking today I say Red Emma's had a sign posted that said, "Start a new year's reVolution." Well, if this goes successfully, I hope it will lead to a turning point in my life style and will be the revolution I need.

If you feel comfortable please leave a comment so I know who all is here to help me :) I hope everyone's breaks were fantastic! Good luck with the new year!

Good for you, but I guess coming home to spend time around us won't be good for that. Of couse, I do have all that gardening that will need doing!

PS: typos, dear...tend to the typos...

This lady writes intersting articles. She's from JHU, coincidentally :) The column on the left has links to other articles she has written. I am a great researcher, just not so great at implementing :)

Take care and I pray you have great success at staying stress-free and healthy! :):)

Good baby steps! Don't try to do too much at first, or it'll just be overwhelming. Best wishes!!
