    Alright…I’ve finally convinced myself I’m a lazy-ass who eats too much cheese and chocolate and drinks too much wine and mimosas. I just went on a 15-20 minute walk and mixed in a 2-minute jog and I about died.  Not only was I basically limping back home, I was dying to catch my breath.  This is not okay!!!  I am 23 years old, not 70!!  My body should not be in this much agony! And so I am officially done being a carb-inhaling couch potato.  It is time to seriously rethink my life choices. Now, I’m not talking weight watchers or all-veggie diet or working out 7 days a week…let’s be realistic here.  I still want to enjoy life…and my glass of wine every other day (ok, every day).  But I am going to be more active.  Here are my goals: 1.  One yoga class a week, with 2 small yoga sessions at home (will up this to two classes a week and 3-4 yoga sessions at home once school is out and I’m back from Europe) 2.  Walk/jog 3 times a week (eventually this will hopefully turn into a jog/run/brief walk 3 times a week) 3.  Eat at least 2 home-cooked meals a week (that must include the major food groups) 4.  DRINK MORE WATER 5.  WILL EVEN ATTEMPT SMALL YOGA SESSIONS & WALKS/JOGS IN EUROPE EVEN IF IT MEANS WAKING UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN (plus, who wouldn’t want to take a little jog along the Thames and the beaches of Normandy, right?)  (Remember to pack work-out clothes for trip) 6.  Eat breakfast every morning, even if it means a smoothie to go.  MUST EAT BREAKFAST. I know this is a total drama-queen-early-20s-omg-I’m-getting-older moment, but seriously.  Dying here.  Dying. New motto:  GET. IN. SHAPE.
