Health Kick

Today, I'm starting to get healthy.  I've decided I need a little "kick" in the rear before we head to Florida in April and I need to get myself in line NOW!  I obviously haven't been keeping up on this part of my New Year's Resolutions!

My first move in this new regimend is to start the Couch to 5k program.  It is VERY easy and VERY attainable, just what I like!  Brandon is doing the Couch to 10k program and is already killing it, so I'm a bit behind, but I'm starting today!!  I could probably actually start my program around Week 3, but I'm going to ease into and do it the right way.

I'm also planning to tweak the way I've been eating.  Instead of stopping off at Panera on my way to work, I'm going to make some Healthy Breakfast Muffins (will post recipe soon) to bring to work.  I also tried a new type of yogurt, the Yoplait Whips and I really like it so far!  The texture of normal yogurt really gets to me, but this is like mousse and feels more like a treat.  Snacking at work is also a problem for me.  I tend to much on junk instead of healthy snacks.  I'm not a huge fan of the trail mix with peanuts, M&Ms and rasins, but I wanted something similar so I browsed for ideas a while back.  I found one that I modified a bit to fit my needs.  Basically, I just mixed together Golden Grahams, Craisins, almonds and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.  While this may not be totally healthy, it's better than leftover muffins and cookies that are in the break room!

So, that is my new "kick" and I plan to stick to it because I'm going to Florida soon and that means I will be wearing a swim suit soon...EEK!!!!!!!!!!
