Another Non-Resolution for the New Year

Georgia Nicols is one of Canada's most popular astrologers. She was on the morning news today offering predictions for 2011. I can't remember the last time I checked my horoscope. Wait, I know, I check it at the start of the New Year and again at Chinese New Year when I read up on the Chinese horosope. It always amazes me that so much fits for the people I know, in particular for a special Libran in my life--wow!

Of most interest to me now is health which looks good for the coming year. Health has been a problem and therefore a priority for some time but I have felt like I'm taking those proverbial two steps forward and at least one step back. For some reason every time I've even thought about possibly starting a new excerise program I have come down with a cold. Hoping for different results I began a simple exercise program during a cold a couple of months ago. So far, so good. It's a very short and simple program fine-tuned by my son when he was home for Christmas.

He is a certified CrossFit coach and my workout is loosely based on those principles. That is not to say I will be setting a goal of participating in the insanity known as the CrossFit Games. No way. Still, I am taking baby steps back to wellness, fitness and feeling strong--I really miss that. It's great to have an encouraging non-critical coach regardless of my feeble skills and slow progress. It's wonderfully rewarding to come full circle. He said that I was the one who inspired him to be physically fit and now he's teaching me.
