It's time for me to get back into accountability since Fall/Winter is usually my downfall. I ended up signing up for the Rock and Roll Half in March which gives me ample time to start my training. Although my StrongLifts training has halted due to a shoulder injury, I'm getting back into some light weight training and avoid the shoulder until healed. And finally, I'm trying out Intermittent Fasting which really helps me control my eating habits during the work week. Meanwhile, my gym has a "Maintain Not Gain" program which allows us to track our weight every week during the holidays so let see how well I do the next few weeks.

Yeah, I know it's a lot but I'm sure I can do 1 out of the 4. Wish me luck.

Lisa p -- I too no longer drink and I know exactly what you mean about being the first person ready to leave. It's not that I don't enjoy socializing without drinking but I can't just spend hours doing it the way I used to.

As for my own healthy habits, I am trying not to eat what I think of as obvious sugar and fat laden items. I'm not really cutting out sugar--just not eating things like cookies, candy, ice cream etc. I've been doing pretty well with this although I seem to have become addicted to Lara Bars as a somewhat "healthier" alternative. I've been a vegetarian for almost 30 years--my diet, apart from that is reasonably good.

I run almost every day but the class that I used to take that incorporated weights seems to have ceased. I have trouble motivating myself to do weights at home--need to look into finding a new class. I would love to try a Yoga class and may look into that for the new year. I have several friends who have done yoga for many years who I think could recommend a good teacher.
