2013 word of the year;   
     Commitment!


Did you know it takes 21 days to change a habit? If you can do anything for 21 straight days then its likely that you can continue to do it for the 22nd, 23rd, 24th and beyond.  Lets start with this..........

 

BIG portions make little sense.

 

 

We've all heard about using smaller plates, only taking a spoonful, stopping when you feel full, drinking a glass of water before the list goes on and on. But I myself have 'habits' good and bad when it comes to eating or portion control. So with my word of the year I'm making it a goal of mine to try and change a habit. Dessert has(d) become a ritual. Today starts my day 1 habit change. 

 

I leave you with this:

Just Me--Back at it again!



We're doing this!!

OK so here's the deal, I like thousands of others do the Facebook thing, so while checking in the other night one of my "likes" The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans posted a 2013 weight loss challenge. Yeah ok your thinking Ugh! loosing weight, exercise, the dreaded 'D' word (diet). But instead I was already thinking ahead for a different twist to the resolution phase everyone seems to do. I am using the one word idea for 2013 and with my December 31, 2012 midnight post my 2013 word is Commitment!

Melissa Anderson is the admin for The Sisterhood and here is what the company overview is, "The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans is an online weight-loss and fitness community for people who's jeans are too tight! We feature online weight-loss and fitness challenges, product reviews and giveaways, healthy recipes, personal success stories, and a lot of fun!"

Once you liked the post you were in for the challenge you can have your own 'buddy' or sign up for one. Apparently with all the 'likes' a lot of us ended up with two buddies. WooHoo! I'm pumped! I heard from my team early this morning and have already started the ball rolling. Jenn has graciously volunteered to be Captain, (at'ta girl Jenn), and I voted for our team name of 'Skinny Jean Sisterhood'. I have also added a miles ticker to my blog and will update every week when I update my mileage at Daily mile. I'm NOT and most likely will NEVER be a runner and though this is a blog as a runners mom I will also add bits and pieces of my quest to 2013 miles with steps in 2013.

      

 

Here's to a fabulous year ahead!!
