(it's an old cartoon.)
Year after year I have vowed to lose weight in the new year; and year after year I have failed miserably. Sure, I start off on the right track. I'll lose 10 or 20 pounds and then get lazy and cheat, all the hard work, will power & dedication down the drain. I'll put the pounds, plus about 10, back on and go about my year being fat and miserable.
We're 7 days into the new year and I'm finally getting around to posting my resolutions for 2009.
Like millions of Americans I want to lose weight. I always want to lose weight. In fact, my resolution EVERY year is to lose weight. So I thought I would change things up a bit for 2009...Year after year I have vowed to lose weight in the new year; and year after year I have failed miserably. Sure, I start off on the right track. I'll lose 10 or 20 pounds and then get lazy and cheat, all the hard work, will power & dedication down the drain. I'll put the pounds, plus about 10, back on and go about my year being fat and miserable.
My resolution this year isn't just to lose weight. My main goal is to start working out on a regular basis again. I'm resolving to hit the gym at least 3 days a week, for 45 minutes or more each day. I'm hoping that this will jump start my weight loss mission. I know that once I c
an motivate myself to go to the gym consistently the eating better and weight loss will fall into place. I've lost the weight before (75 pounds in 9 months back in 2000) so I know I can do it. It's the getting started part that holds me back year after year and I'm telling you, the Internet, that this year will be different.
I'll be keeping a daily journal for myself and posting my progress here for the entire Blogosphere to see. I'll even weigh-in on a monthly basis, my goal is to be down 50 pounds (or more) by the end of December 2009.
Not only will I be accountable to myself, I'll be accountable to you, the Internet.
Good luck to any of my fellow blogging buddies that have resolved to make 2009 a better year, I know I'm going to need all the luck I can get!

Hi Greis,
We have the same 'evergreen' New Year's Resolution - to lose weight. I too am trying to make a realistic, get-my-butt-moving plan!
Just made me think of a recent post I did about how girlfriends can help you lose weight (and you can then add spending more time with your friends to your successful resolutions too!)
Any fun girlfriend stories to share, I'd love a guest blog for Girlfriendology.
Thanks and Happy 2009!!

You can do it!! I also want to start working out more in 2009.

I hear you loud and clear. I decided to make fitness and health my goals, with the hope that weight loss will follow. So far so good..... I've got 30-40 total pounds to lose.
Good luck! We can do it!
