thought i would share this funny article in hope to make you laugh a little about resolutions:
"New year’s resolutions are often aspirations for personal improvement. While making your new year’s resolutions, remember that life isn’t just all things practical and responsible. Why not add a little levity with the arrival of the new year and the ‘new you’ with my @02besunny funny New Years Resolutions?
[Dec. 31]
LIST OF FUNNY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
Here are few of my personal New Year’s resolutions — fun for me, funny for you:
I resolve to eat healthier by adding more roughage to my diet, such as more lettuce on my BLTs;
I resolve to discover what they mean by ‘runner’s euphoria’, I will run Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I think I will find the euphoria on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday;
I resolve that I will procrastinate less: I will only press the snooze button four or five times;
I resolve that I will not use the same old excuses when I call in sick, instead I will think of all new reasons;"
don't neglect the fact that YOU are the one sticking with things, improving adn progressing!
we're only talking but you are the one ACTING!!! and that's what matters!
don't let the cold get you down. see it as rest time so that you can come back even stronger, but only once you're recovered! take in lots of fluids (dont mean coffee of course!) and fruit and veg to get your antioxidants!
thanks maedi, i appreciate it. trying to power through the cold which i know isn’t the best idea, but i don’t know how ot rest, i get to antsy doing nothing.
i can completely understand that of course :-)
just make sure that you keep hydrated, eat lots of protein for recovery. if you're outdoors obviously dress in layers and dont hold back on those hot baths and even better steam.
make sure you're doing very easy workouts if you really have/want to train at all, so low intensity honey until you fell better!!
I'm right there with you April, I used to be a big runner and have completely changed my ways because I realized how much stress it was putting on my joints. Now, I walk walk and walk, and I've never felt better :-)
Yes Pup I was track&field in high school so I learned to not make things too difficult for myself. When I walk my dogs people always ask me "How many miles do you walk?", I told them "I dont know" but of course my 18yr. old son had to clock the mileage one day in the car & told me I was walking 3miles (kinda spoiled it for me). I just wanted to enjoy the walk 3 times a week & not make it a chore.
I am right there with you April, I don't like to know how much I walk or run, I just love to get out there and go for it freely and aimlessly. It's so much more enjoyable and fulfilling that way. Can you maybe try a new fun route to mix things up where you wouldn't know the mileage?
That's so fantastic April! I love it! I try to mix it up each and everyday, and that's what keeps life interesting. For me, it the simplest pleasures; like taking a different talking path and noticing a new view or piece of architecture.
