ancora imparo

My goal for the new year is to improve my over-all health. I’ve got two great motivators in my children. I want to enjoy them. I plan to increase my activity level (which won’t take much, in all honesty) and pay more attention to the food going into my mouth. I’m not sure what I’m going to do as far as an eating plan, but I’m leaning toward doing Weight Watchers points because it’s something I already know.

Santa brought us a scale for Christmas so I can do weigh-ins at home without paying to play. If I find that I’m not doing well enough on my own, I’ll do meetings, but I really don’t like the meetings, so I think I’m going to skip that if I can get away with it. I joined SparkPeople to log my progress. (Nice iPod Touch integration, so I can use that too.)

I want to make a change that I can live with and keep up. I want my excercise to be low-impact because of my bad knees. I am going to try Pilates and Yoga for their other benefits (stress reduction and healing.) I don’t expect this to be a common topic of my posting, but I am putting it in writing to make my personal commitment to change.

Happy New Year!
