It’s been two years since I’ve exercised consistently. My diet wasn’t great to start with, yet it’s still taken a turn for the worse. So, my physical goals for 2009 are simple.
Eat Reasonably – Except for initial weight loss, I’m not a fan of unsustainable diets, but that doesn’t mean I can’t eat reasonably. I can have a piece of fruit or bowl of healthy cereal for breakfast and a healthy sandwich (lean meat, whole wheat bread, no mayo) for lunch. This means that even if I have pizza and beer for dinner, I still haven’t taken in an insane number of calories. It also means that when I’m out for lunch I can forgo sugary drinks and should try to eat a healthier dinner that day. An additional tip, adding a side of vegetables to any meal (especially an unhealthy one), means that you eat less junk.
Exercise – I plan to run two mornings a week through April, at which point I will reevaluate. If I happen to get a gym membership before then, plans will change.
What are your physical goals for 2009?
