January goals

I've read on a few other blogs that monthly goals are way easier to stick with than yearly resolutions.  Makes sense.  So I made a few for this month:

  • Eat every meal at home (or pack my lunch for work).  It is ridiculous how much money it costs to eat lunch downtown every day.  Or go out to dinner.  So I'm saving money and being healthier by cooking breakfast and dinner every day, and taking leftovers for lunch.  Going well.
  • Take vitamins every day.  Sitting next to my counter, I have bottles of Evening Primrose Oil, Fish Oil, Woman's Daily multivitamins, Chromium tablets, CoQ10 and a few others.  Unfortunately, I remember to take them about once a week.  So now I'm taking them every morning before I leave.  I like to think I notice a difference when I take my vitamins.  Perhaps that is my overactive imagination.
  • Drink 2 liters of water every day.  Going well.  Definitely flushing the body out.  Side effect: going to the bathroom about 12 times every day, and once in the middle of the night.
Already working on making my February goals.  They will focus more on what I'm eating (since I'm making the habit of cooking at home) and incorporating more working out into the daily routine.  Inspired by the popularity of the Barre Method workouts and the fact that my sister has left a ballet bar in my closet, I'm searching for an inexpensive Barre DVD.  Perhaps one that incorporates plenty of pilates-esque moves.  Also wanting to stop being a pussy and get out and run so I can do the Cap 10k in March.  We'll see how that goes.
