Let's Try Again...

Well as all of my many many readers can see I have in fact not been on here in a month and a half. Alex has now been gone 5 weeks, and if I'm truly honest, I have not been following "the plan." So I'm starting over. Today is day one. I do feel like I have failed (again), but I'm going back into this head on with a positive attitude. I'm here now, right? So, I guess I will outline my plan for this time around.
1. I am going to keep up with this blog at least 4 times a week (with school, I think I may set myself up for failure if I expect too much more than that, but I will still try for most days).
2. I am doing a "body cleanse" this weekend. As in today and tomorrow. Not one of the fad things where all you drink is maple syrup mixed with lemonade (saw that on "Weeds"), but just a jump start of healthy foods. Hopefully I will be seeing at least a little bit of a difference within the first week so that I can stay motivated.
3. I am going to start walking/jogging with Kisa at least 3 days a week. Weather permitting because I'm not taking her out in scorching heat, and I'm not going out if there's a monsoon. Cold weather is acceptable.
4. I will do some sort of workout in the house, either Wii Active or a video segment at least 3 times a week. And more if I have to miss walking days.
5. I will substitute junk for healthy alternatives (bad sweets for fruit, bad salty cravings with veggies). And I will start cooking with my Hungry Girl cookbook again. (200 foods under 200 calories and some really great recipes in there if I stop being so lazy)
I am ready to have more energy and feel good about myself so I am at least going to be trying. I have lost 5 weeks already but I still have more time than I care to think about. So here goes!
Today is Day 1 and we went for our walk already and had a smoothie for breakfast. So far so good.
Have a super, fantastic, great day!

P.S. Ideas that I will be using and evaluating sometime soon (mostly a reminder for myself): Using the blender, Cooking, Crockpot (maybe), PodRunner podcasts.
P.P.S. And I have renamed this blog (well if I figure it out). If you want to know why, feel free to ask! :)
