It’s January 16 – wow, 2010 has been flying by so far!  It’s been a busy month for us, and I’ve been doing a great job on some of my goals (not taking work home, being more zen, getting lots of exercise) and not so great on others (100 days of yoga, cooking).  Time to refocus!

I have been good at eating healthily, mostly by making salads, sandwiches, soups, and stir fry and I’m hoping to be a little bit more adventurous in cooking some healthy and hearty meals.  I think I need to pick my recipes and make a list…!

I haven’t been very good about my yoga practice or goal of 100 days of yoga. I’m on day 32, so that’s awesome, but I should be somewhere in my 40s – I have work to do!  Weekends are great because there are tons of great classes, but weekdays are a little tough when I have to motivate myself after a long day.  I think I found a time that works, so this week I’m making it part of the routine.  Let’s hope it sticks!

But I have been walking a ton (I wear a smart pedometer that downloads steps to a website through my work’s wellness program, and I get about 8,000-10,000 steps a day – about 4- 5 miles). My schedule is busy: I’m up at 5:45, run with the dogs, feed them, get ready for work, take dogs out for a short walk, head to work, work work work, back home at 5:30, short walk, feed the dogs, yoga, long walk with the dogs, make dinner, eat, tv/work/sleep?  I thrive on lots of exercise (I’m like a puppy too!) so it’s been great for me.

I’m also taking lots of time to rest and enjoy life too! (as are Lincoln and Winston, they love chilling outside )  Hope you are too!
