Sunday Social 1/6/13

Well, tonight marks my last night of break.

I can't believe that Holiday Season 2012 is over!

I'm linking up with Neely at A Complete Waste of Makeup to avoid thinking about school or doing anything school related bring you the weekly Sunday Social post.

This Week's Questions:

1)  Do you plan to change any of your eating habits in the new year?

Oh yeah, buddy!!

I am planning on watching my portion sizes since I have to remember that just because I'm as hungry as a horse, it doesn't mean I need to eat the equivalent of one.

I also need to work on not having a reward mentality when it comes to food.

It's hard to lose weight when any workout I do I reward with food or wine!

2)  Any workout tips to get us back in shape after the holidays?

Bwahahahahaha!

Yeah...don't follow my advice!

Just kidding.  (Sort of)

Here is what I am doing for myself:

I have a goal to work out 3-4 times a week.  Notice I didn't say go to the gym.

The gym's not always possible, but I need to try to be active no matter what.

I have started a "Workout Jar" to motivate myself more.

Each time I work out I will put one dollar into the jar.

Once it's full, I get to use the money to buy myself a new article of clothing.

It's not a new idea...I've seen it out there.

(I actually made it through Target AND Marshalls without buying any clothes.  It was HARD!)

I also got an Old Navy gift card for Christmas, but I have decided that I need to lose 5 pounds (and keep it off) before I can use it.  Also, I can only buy one thing for each 5 pounds.

I love to shop so that's a HUGE motivator.

Plus, this will help Handsome Husband and I save more money. :)

I have also downloaded the MyFitnessPal app for my phone.
It helps track my calories and exercise.
It's a way to keep me accountable.

3)  What was your favorite thing you did over the holidays?

Hanging out with family and friends always makes the #1 slot.

I also loved learning how to crochet something new (I learned 4 new things over break!);

Hanging out with Handsome Husband;

Being able to STOP THINKING;

Eating WWWWAAAAAYYYYY too much good food;
especially my FIL's antipasta...seriously...to die for!  Gah!

4)  What is something you hope to accomplish in 2013 that you did not in 2012?

I need to get serious about getting in shape.

It's not going to happen overnight, be easy or happen because of anyone but me.

5)  Name 3 things happening this year you are excited about and why.

1.  My friend Lindsay is marrying her best friend in June and I get to stand by her side.

2.  Handsome Husband and I are going to LA for Spring Break.

3.  I turn 29 in March and am looking forward to celebrating the last year of my twenties.
