Julia & Jillian

4

My resolution goal for 2012 is to channel my inner Julia Childs and Jillian Michaels and create a healthy balance between the two.

Picture Julia in workout clothes and Jillian in an apron.

I know I can do a better job of this ~ I ENJOY both, but need to do a little less Julia and lots more Jillian.

More workout clothes.

Less apron.

But there is nothing wrong with baking and {IMMEDIATELY} packaging it up and delivering to someone and to bringing an unexpected smile to their day.

Or being on the lookout for someone who may need a nice home cooked meal delivered.

Unfortunately hoisting the KitchenAid out of the bottom of the pantry is not considered a workout.

I plan to move more, bike more, sweat more, feel the morning chill on my face more and rack up the steps on my pedometer more.

There really is NO excuse.

Will I do another half marathon? Maybe, maybe not, but there is nothing wrong with getting out there for a brisk walk and doing 3 miles {with hills}. I have to keep reminding myself that {it’s better than nothing}.

Short term fitness goal: Castaic 5K Mud Run on April 15th

Who’s down to get dirty with me?

*****

This afternoon we delivered New Year’s sugar cookie bars on bikes to our neighbors….

It’s a start.

I am certain marrying these two {loves} of mine will make me a better person.

Looking forward to the challenge.

    I truly believe that as long as you’re channeling Jillian and leading a healthy life by exercising, it’s okay to be Julia as well. Like you said, it’s a balance. I don’t think you need to give up one for the other. You’re on the right track!

    Ooh, good luck on your mud run! I’ve wanted to do one of those for so long. Maybe this summer’s challenge? I’ll have to think it over. 🙂 Happy New Year!
