2013 has started with a week of small achievements. I've exercised every day - alternating the NHS running podcast with a walk of some description. I'm taking a slightly different approach to resolutions this year. I am going to try to start a new thing each week. This week has been, guess what - exercise.
Each week, as long as I remember, I plan to start a new resolution in the hope that by February, a couple of them will have 'stuck'.
Next week, as well as the exercise, I am going to focus on liquids - no alcohol, more water, less caffeine.
Isn't there something about tomorrow being the most depressing Monday of the year? Or is that next Monday - I can never remember. What I have been reminded of, however, is how good running/exercise makes me feel. I wish that on the frequent occasions I give up on running/exercising/cycling/walking etc, my inner memory prompter would let me know that if I stop I will feel more rubbish than if I carry on.
I think I must have some kind of endorphin imbalance. The difference between my overall sense of wellbeing on an exercise day (especially running) and a non-exercise day is quite staggering. Maybe it's because I've accompanied this exercise business with a fortnight of lolling about but I do feel as if I'm ready for the rushing about that will inevitably start again tomorrow morning.
Good luck for the first proper week of the year....

My running has temporarily ground to a halt, due to lurg, and I'm feeling very twitchy, as I want to get back to it, especially as I now have my new CDs downloaded onto my Ipod. Defintely feel SO much better with an exercise routine.
