It's 2010! We have officially started a new decade. I was thinking about it earlier and although I'm only 23, this is the 4th decade my beautiful brown eyes has seen. Pretty sweet, huh? 09 had a few rough spots, but all in all was an amazing year. I am very happy it ended on such a high note. This year, though, promises to be SO much better! I have so many amazing things planned within the year of 2010. I am just hoping that everything plays out as it's planned in my head. I don't really believe in resolutions because people fail at sticking to their goal. Instead, I'm just setting a goal for myself - becoming more organized. It's easy to "measure" because there will be less crap laying on the floor of my house. Anywho, it's a goal that can be enjoyed by both Zach and I. I have a secondary goal, but it's the same one I have each year. I just want to be healthier. I know, I know; it's not specific, measurable, nor does it have a timeline. Blah blah blah.
So, the goal for the next 30 days (starting tomorrow) is to be Paleo quality, Zone quantity. It's a pain in the ass to measure everything out, but I feel better on the Zone than anything else. Paleo wasn't exactly my favorite because I either didn't eat enough or ate all day long. There was no continuity. My body never really adapted to it. Along with eating better, I am going to try to get myself stronger and leaner. I don't know if it's even possible to do both at the same time, but I'm going to try. When I am up at school for hours on end, I really like running for a few miles on the treadmill looking over Elmwood Park. It's a relaxing break. I know that if I go to Crossfit more than 1x/week, I'll get stronger. I just need to stop making excuses for not getting there. I'm hoping that those 3 efforts (diet, running, xfit) combined will get me where I want to be. I have a trip to Las Vegas where I want to make the b!tches jealous and a trip to Hawaii where I want to make men drool. ha. Really, though, I just want to be happy about how I look and feel. I want to have more energy and confidence.I'll try to post lots of recipes and pictures of the things I end up making for Zach and I. You know, the attempts and failures of primal cooking.
Happy 2010, people! I hope yours started as amazingly as mine.
