Alright, well the year has definitely started out with a little less momentum then I wanted. I have had a nasty virus for just over 3 weeks now, and it's still lingering. It's a bit hard to be excited about plans and to get moving on them when all you want to do is crawl under the covers. Enough about that, moving along.
So it's been 10 days facebook free, I can't say it's been easy. I still feel pretty disconnected from some people and events. Also, it's been eye-opening to see how much marketing and information is filtered through facebook. I come across bands, products, restaurants and they all direct me to facebook for more information. Before I just clicked through and didn't even notice that I was on facebook, now I notice how it has permeated everything. This has just reinforced how much I need the break, I'm sure as time goes on it will get easier.
As soon as I can do more than walk and not get into a coughing fit I am going to start P90X. I'm shooting for Monday, so we'll see how I feel. I have been wanting to try it for some time, and have had one excuse or another. I'm not going to post before and progress picks here, I'm not that brave, but I will post updates as to how I'm doing. I have some weight to lose, but mostly I just want to be more athletically fit. The McGuires 5K prediction run is coming up in March, I attempted to run it last year and ended up walking a good bit. Considering I had only done one other 5k and had no training whatsoever I was just happy to finish. This year I would like to at least run the majority of it. I've read several accounts of people using P90X to train for runs. So we will see.
The other big change I just started is giving up soda. Now I have to be honest and say part of it is due to a medication that I have to take that just makes carbonation taste nasty. I quit taking the medication a few months ago by choice and am back on as I should be. So, it certainly makes quitting carbonation much easier. I also feel so much better when I'm not drinking soda and I know that it will go a long way in helping with the weight loss and exercise. Today was the first day and I have a killer headache from the caffeine withdrawal. That should give you an idea of how much soda I've been drinking.
If you've made it this far, bravo! I'll try to post updates a little more regularly so they aren't so long.
