Happy New Year! Starting Off Fresh!

Hello everyone!  After a long hiatus, I'm back.  The holidays are over and I can focus on getting back into shape.  Hopefully the saying of third time's a charm is true.  I don't know how many times in the past 6 months have I started the shred all over again.

I'm just one of those people that cannot take all the stress it puts onto my knees and shins.  I did also purchase No More Trouble Zones to add some variety, but the workouts were too long.

So as of this morning here were my current stats:

154.2 lbs
28.2 BMI
41.8% BF, yuck!  I'm almost half body fat *cries*

I'm not too much different from my last weigh in I see documented here, but it's still an increase.

I also got a new Motorola Droid from my hubby for Christmas and from the app store I downloaded an app called "Calorie Counter" that syncs my information with fatsecret.com.  So hopefully I can manage my food diary better.  Like today I had such a small snack (seafood dip w/crackers...and a cup of yogurt).  It had more calories than my lunch or even breakfast.  Yikes!  I guess I should have known from the start it was a bad idea because I'm sure that dip had a lot of "bad" things in it like mayo.

My goals for the New Year (again, maybe redundant from previous goals...but I need to write it down anyway.)
•    Drink lots of water
•    Only water or tea...I think I'm going to only do hot tea and limit myself to 1 cup a day.  Last summer when I was drinking several cups of iced tea, I think I had caffeine overload and would experience eye twitching periodically through the day - yikes!
•    Limit my caloric intake.  Not really setting a goal right now...but at least 350-400 calories per meal.
•    Exercise, exercise, exercise!  I think I'll have a variety of things going.  I need to sit down and really plan this out. But definitely the shred 3 times a week and I think in between I can do NMTZ or Cindy Whitmarsh on exercisetv.tv
•    I need to somehow also decrease my fat intake.  If I gotta loose the fat, I gotta watch the fat I'm eating as well.
•    Weigh myself every Monday right when I wake up.
•    My goal is to be 125 lbs.  But if I look and feel healthy at a weight heavier than that, I will also be satisfied.  Weight loss to me isn't always about the numbers. 

So, with that said...here's hoping to a successful weight loss in 2010!
