Brillient start to 2010! Two intense cycle rides! What have you done?

Hi Andrew, exercise will keep you cheerful so good for you. Nothing that dramatic for me, but we had fun today raiding a mandarini tree, bursting with fruit. It did involve quite a lot of jumping to try and reach them. An excellent start though with free fresh food and a new marmalade recipe in mind.

Hello Andrew. Over the last 5 months, I've lost 21lbs without really trying. We had a holiday in Germany that involved a lot of walking, and autumn in Spain has been hotter than usual, so I've been swimming every day for at least an hour, and living on fruit and salads, because that was all we could face. I llok and feel so much better for it, I want to lose some more - and I could certainly do with it. [u][/u] Our local Town Hall is running belly dancing classes, and I've signed up - I start next week. This morning, I weighed myself, and I've put on 2lbs over Christmas and New Year. Okay, it's nothing major, but I'm stopping the rot here and now. I went down to the market this morning, and bought lots of fruit and vegetables. I'm having a week on the Cabbage Soup Diet, which will shift those extra pounds and a few more besides. My neighbour and I are going to our local indoor pool twice a week together, starting Tuesday, when she gets back from a couple of days away. It's mild here, but too cold for the outdoor pool, so until we can go in again - probably March - we're going to use the indoor pool. Whichever one of us doesn't want to go on the odd occasion, the other one is going to cajole her into it. I think I've covered my wellbeing for the New Year and, like you, I'm not wasting a day.

I have not done anything healthy like that. Good job for you to have done it. I wish you all the best in being healthy in the new year. It is actually too cold and snowy here to cycle right now where I live.

I writing and reading a lot, which is acceptable to me. My goal is to read is 100 books in 2010; I have 99 to go. I am hopeful that I will get into better shape in 2010, well as to submit my own literary work to 10 journals and/or contests.

Good for you, Andrew! Oh how I miss my bike that I had while living in Michigan and Florida. Back then I was soooo healthy. Hopefully, I'm going to start walking twice a week with a fellow resident here in my building. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Hi Andrew, Well done on getting back on the roads, one of the things I was happiest about was getting back on the pavements and going for a nice walk in the snow ~ Laughs ~ I love the snow and the quiet that comes with walking when it is quite early. Heavenly, though having the sunrise shining in my eyes is a touch annoying lol. Other than that my other favourite thing was beating a really annoying jigsaw that had been bugging me 3 days before the new year and which I finally finished on the 1st. I was so happy with that and look forward to conquering many more in 2010 (because I just know how to party lol!!). Actually a thought to, returning here is something I am proud of. I went on hiatus for a few months and came back yesterday. I am happy with that as it means I can start earning again ~ Fingers crossed ~ Hopefully. Small compared to yours but they make me happy All the best and I hope 2010 proves to be a great year for you, Dranz

We've worked, gone to the library, and gone skiing. It does feel like it's been a productive year so far.

Mine doesn't have anything to do with exercise. A great time that has happened to me in 2010 so far would be going to the mall at one of the restaurants with some family that I don't get to see that much. The good thing was that I ran into other family there and then even more family that I had not seen in years. Altogether some of my family that was there had not seen each other in over 10 years so it was a good time to reconnect.

I made a resolution to put more effort into my writing and mylotting. So far in 2010 I have made 15 cents on mylot, bringing my grand total up to $3.11 Happy mylotting to you all 2010 long.

That is an awesome start for a new decade and year! Unfortunately I've begun this year by sitting home, eating unhealthy junk foods and playing video games. Hopefully I'll feel more productive once I get back to school and start the second half of my soccer season.
