Health = Wealth

Hi All!

Today was such a good day, despite the cold weather here in Jersey.  I am just starting to get over my cold, and was itching to get back to the gym!

I was all bundled up and ready to face the cold! Side note- still working on how to take good blog pictures, bear with me por favor 🙂

At the gym I was all set to run my 4 miles, but after my warm-up on the elliptical, I knew my heart was racing faster than normal.  I had Dr. Os take my heart rate (who needs a heart rate monitor when you’ve got him around? 😉 ) and we both decided it would be better if I lifted instead.

I spent some time working on biceps and triceps and called it a day.

Although I was disappointed with my ability to push myself hard today, I knew it was a smart decision to listen to my body. Dr. Os knew I wasn’t super happy, so he stopped at the juice bar to cheer me up.

Apple, carrot, and celery.  Although it wasn’t my favorite, it was very fresh.

Do you juice or drink fresh vegetable juice? What is your favorite combo? I just purchased my first juicer and am excited to try different combinations.

Time for some Modern Family, tea, and bed 🙂

Goals 2012

Hi!  Starting off the new year with a cold is no fun 😦

However, snuggling my pup while sick is a pretty okay way to spend the day 🙂

Since it is the start of a new year, and the start of a good year for me, I thought it would be fun to post my list of goals for the year.  This year I will be finishing a second (and last) degree, getting married, and Dr. Os (the fiancé) will finish nursing school.  Of course, a lot can happen in a year, but all seems good on the horizon ❤

2012 Goals

Personal

Spend more time snuggling Achilles- being in school full-time, teaching, working, working out, etc. leaves little time for my little baby.  Of course, he lives in a house full of people who love him, but I want to make sure I give him more love myself.

Continue to save $$$ as best as I can.  And remind myself frequently that paying for classes are an investment in myself… and repeat.

Read more books from my professional library.

Professional

Finish the degree- and dance around like a maniac when I finish 🙂

Full-time job of my dreams by July 2012

Teaching yoga classes by December 2012

Health

Yoga 4x a week

Vitamins daily

Run at least 1 1/2 marathon by June 2012

More fruits and veggies, less sweets 🙂

What are your goals for 2012? As I’ve seen on lots of blogs, like Fitnessista, Inspiration Boards are a good way to visually remind yourself of your goals.  Look out for a posting of my board in the next few days.

Welcome!

Welcome to my little blog.  This is where I will be sharing  all stuff that interests me.  Working out, shopping, yoga, running, my pupsicle Achilles, and my main squeeze Dr. Os (my fiancé).  What better way to start the new year than with a new blog? 🙂

Thanks for stopping by, look for new posts soon.
