As my extended holiday vacation comes to a close today (thank you higher ed workplace) and I attempt to not feel sad about returning to the 9-5 grind (remember: you like your job, you like your job) I suppose I should set some goals (not resolutions). In the spirit of new beginnings I’m going to attempt to complete the following tasks over the next 30 days
1. Follow the Four Hour Body diet. After reading the book over vacation I’m definitely intrigued by the premise – basically sticking to a slow carb diet 6 days per week with a planned cheat day where you’re allowed to eat anything you like. I’ll keep you posted as to how that works out…
2. Write. Write. Write – which wont be a problem as I’m taking another Grub Street 8-week class. This time I’ll be putting my non-fiction chops to the test.
3. I’ve also decided to complete the Yoga Journal 21-day challenge. This begins on January 10th. The last time I considered myself to be “thin” was five years ago when I was doing a tremendous amount of yoga. Maybe this will help?
4. Start a YA book club with Pam. I’ve tried and failed at doing this for years. This time I’m going to make it happen.
Wish me luck! This list should keep me busy and therefore help to stave off the January doldrums.
Good luck with your goals! Would love to get in on the YA book club, if you’re open to a total-stranger-who’s-local-and-follows-your-blogs … Cheers!
One of my resolutions this year is to do Bikram yoga four times a month – but since I signed up for an unlimited pass, I have been tempted to do the 21-day yoga challenge. However, I am worried that I will burn myself out (especially since hot yoga can be SO draining) but know I could do other forms of yoga… I still can’t decide… obviously! Good luck on your goals!
These are great goals! Keep us posted on your progress, k?
How is the Slow Carb diet going? I’ve lost about 20 lbs on it and haven’t been too anal on it. I’m trying to buckle down for the next few weeks to see if the weight loss will continue as before.
