Well so far so good...I start a movement plan on December 22, 2012. I don't like to start on January 1st feels like too much pressure :-) So I started just before Christmas with working out 20 minutes a per day for 6 days a week. I will be doing that for 30 days then increasing. Since I have been working all year long to heal my hip and ankle I am taking it easy and trying for consistency. That has always been a struggle in the past for me. This year I really am aiming for consisted effort on my part. I did very well last year with getting sugar out and had success with the hitting 30lbs down but it balance out at 27.5lbs just wouldn't move past that very frustrating. I have done my best with changing how I eat now lets add some real movement. I have read some about movement helping heal your metabolism; so I am adding it in; I have tried before but I kept re-injuring myself. That's why I asked around to some trainers and got some suggestions from them and this is what I came up with for me.
I have a choice of free weights / yoga / zumba / bosa ball (probably more but that will do for now) - all at home; gyms scare me at this time of year :-) plus I have everything I need at home. I set everything up before I leave for work and then when I get home I change my clothes; turn on the dvd of choice and a 20 minute timer and go. Then in 30 days I will increase to 30 minutes 6 days a week. Each month evaluating every 30 days to see what I need or want next.
Monday morning will be the weigh-in and measure-in to see my progress. I will also do a blog that day for accountability :-)
New years *Wishes* to you all for the best outcomes in all that you do in 2013!
20 minutes every day is plenty to start. Why don't you try walking everyday? I love that. Have a great day :-)

DeleteUgh ... I have not started any exercise but I'm contemplating adding some in. I hear ya on the dark by 4:30 ... I long to live in California (lucky Rosalie). I was walking more in the nicer weather but it's pretty hard to get motivated when it's below freezing ... brrrrr. Good luck and Happy New Year!
