This week's goals

Trying to lose weight and get healthy is a difficult task. But it is necessary. My goals for the coming week.

1. Walk every day (Goal of at least 1/2 hour everyday by end of week, may start with less for first few days)

2. Drink more water (Aim for 8 glasses a day)

3. Stay away from soda (Difficult for me to do, but I was able to stay away today. I think I'm addicted)

4. Lessen the amount of bread I eat. (I could live off pizza, so limiting the amount of bread products is tough but must be done)

It has been a while since I exercised so I will start with just walking. I know that to really lose weight I will need to probably add more aerobic activity but I will start small.

The goals are small for now, but if I take it one day at a time it can be done. I just need to remember that the end result will be worth it. I deserve to be healthy.

They say that if you do something for 30 days it becomes a habit. Sounds like a good start to good habits that will improve your health and you will lose weight. They say green tea helps in losing weight. I drink it all the time since I gave up soda. I was addicted to died pepsi and drank so much of it that by the end of the night it didn't taste good at all, in fact it tasted awful, but I was addicted. If I can do it, you can do it! My last diet soda was April 2006.

Those sound like solid starting goals; I've done several of those things with some success. Keep at it, and good luck!

I started all goals today. Going well. I walked this morning. I have to remember to get up early to walk on my days off. If I wait till the sun is out, I may not want to walk in the heat for very long. and NO SODA today. Yeah!

i have gotten so far off track with this but life wasn't fun when I was denying myself. I will try to look good and stay within my weight limits. But heck, I can't entirely give up pizza.

You are on track - it's SMALL changes! And putting it here holds you accountable. I try to move a bit every day. Sometimes just do YOGA poses. It tightens things up a bit and relieves my stress. Also do the mini-tramp. Walking won't help me lose weight but jogging will. Hmmm...

Good luck!
