New year’s resolution
I noticed on Ted Henley’s recent blog talks about his new year’s resolution, so out of pure competitive nature I will talk about mine.
Ted is trying to get healthier by cutting back on coffee…but I have set a more general goal of simply getting healthy. Since I moved here more than two years ago, I have found I no longer play sports, I eat a lot of junk and I sit on the couch for hours at a time, watching Newsnet, MTV, MuchMoreMusic and even CPAC! Basically I’ve become a slob.
To start this goal in a proper way, I’ve started a herbal cleansing program. It started on Friday and will end on Friday — and I have to revamp my whole diet through the process. So far, it has been interesting because this is the first ever cleanse I have done.
The only problem I have faced is bathroom issues. I’m not going into detail but as you might know, you have to drink a lot of water through a cleansing. This means I have had (on a number of occasions) to run to the closest bathroom as fast as possible.
Coupled with the cleansing, I have joined a gym for the first time in my life. I get to work out at the Family Leisure Centre, which means I also get the benefit of having a sauna, hot tub, and steam room to relax in after spending an hour biking running and pumping iron.
Hopefully I will actually be able to follow through with my resolution this year…because I love hot tubs.
