Breaking Radio Silence

So, I think my last post was in June (I have been super slack). Well, here is to a new year and possibly more focus and actually keeping up with this.

I spent some time today thinking about where I am right now and where I want to be by the end of the year. I am not setting a goal of I want to lose X number of pounds and be all around awesomer than I am now. I am trying to keep the goals measurable and attainable. Here is where I am at now:

1) Stop drinking energy drinks like Redbull or Monster. Just do regular coffee or Herbal Teas for my caffeine needs. I logically know that I can get caffeine and health benefits from the coffee or tea but energy drinks are a bunch of chemical garbage with no real health benefits. If it doesn't help me and actually hurts me it is time to dump it.

2) Pack lunch for me and Alex a majority of the week (at least 4 of the 5 days). So much money is wasted on eating out and it is really unhealthy as well. Time to focus on my health and what I am eating and make sure what I am eating is worth the time it takes to chew.

3) Cook at home a majority of the time. This goes with the one above, we eat out so often and the food is (to be fully honest) often suspect quality. I came home from work yesterday and was initially feeling I didn't want to cook and wanted to go out. Then I started getting stuff out of the fridge and I ended up making an awesome Orzo with chicken and cajun alfredo sauce. It was fantastic, I got to be creative and had lunch to take to work today (it was amazing cold).

4) Keep up with this blog...We will see right

So here is to 2013, a new year with new challenges and new opportunities.
