Fitness
I’m hoping you’ll just skip on past this goal. Nothing to see here. Nope. It’s not like I totally gained back the weight I lost for my wedding.
Oh wait, yes I did.
The truth is, since we got married, we’ve been celebrating our nuptials pretty much every day. By eating good stuff, apparently. And drinking copious amount of red wine (it doesn’t help that Trader Joe’s just popped up in town and we just happen to love their Two Buck Chuck).
We’re still cooking healthy, delicious meals, but we’ve also been hitting up Five Guys one too many times. So, although we’ve been eating healthy food, we’ve been eating wayyyyy too much bad food. (Wouldn’t you know it – my husband hasn’t gained a SINGLE pound! Funny how that works.)
This year, I want to get to a happy weight and stay there. Like forever. Forever, forever. Not for any event or vacation. FOH LIFE, YA’LL. (Well, except when I’m with child, but that’s the only exception.) I shouldn’t be doing this yo-yo thing. It’s not good for my body, my life, my health, or my wardrobe.
My happy weight is generally between 133-137 pounds, give or take. Right now, I’m … well, I’m above that weight.
It takes balance! Balance includes Five Guys once a month, maybe every other month. Not every other day. We’ve been taking this balance thing way too far.
Also, not that I plan to have a child ANY time soon, but I do want to get my body healthy for when that time does come. I repeat, we’re not planning to have a kid in 2012. 
Oh, and that copious amounts of wine thing? That’s gotta stop. Drinking daily is bad, kids. Even if it is just a glass or two of red with dinner. Sure, Dr. Oz says it’s okay, but Dr. Oz isn’t going to come to your house and break you of your daily habit, is he? Sorry, Cabernet Sauvignon, but you’re getting a little too clingy for my liking.
Goal: Weigh 133-137 and MAINTAIN.
Goal: Run 1 5k.
Goal: Work out (move) 5-6 days a week.
Goal: Drink no more than one drink during the week. Try to limit drinking to one day on the weekends.
What are your fitness goals for the year?
My next and final goal: Writing & Blogging
About B&B
I also limit my wine to once a week and only 1-2 glasses then. It helps the balance of sweets.
My fitness goals are to do a marathon and then stay active through a (hopeful) pregnancy.
Ohhh exciting! Good luck with the (hopeful) pregnancy!!
SOunds like you’ve got some good fitness goals for the year! All of that running should take care of the weight loss (it does for me, anyway).
I won’t be running too much until the weather gets nicer since I’m not a huge fan of treadmill running. So I’ll be opting for other firms of cardio. You guys have it so easy–you think about running and lose weight!!
I’m trying to not drink unless it’s Friday or Saturday. It’s been difficult so far. But given that a glass of wine has 150 calories-ish and I tend to have two, I know it’s the reason my mid-section is fluffy right now.
I still think you are so awesome for completing your 30 day no drinking challenge! I don’t think I could do that. I met my goal this week–only had one drink all week. Adam and I celebrated by having a bottle of wine at dinner last night.
Since you’re planning on losing weight anyway, have you signed up for my 10 pound challenge? lose 10 pounds in 12 weeks, win prizes such as $75, $50, an ipod shuffle, 2 $25 prizes etc.
And btw, I have been married almost 2 years, and I am still trying to lose the weight i gained the first year of marriage!!
Yes- the happy weight for life. That is my goal too! I need a good routine. I just want to get there and then not have to mess with it
The green smoothies help a lot I think! 
You’re too hard on yourself though. You always look healthy, slim and fabulous.
Great goals, Amber! I’d love to run a 5K, maybe even a 10K, and start making morning or evening walks/jogs a more regular habit. Ideally, it’d be great if that helped me lose weight, but I’m not going to beat myself up if it doesn’t happen.
