So Far

I'm not managing to break a sweat yet. But, I am managing to eat more fruit and vegetable. Getting some water, but not throughout the day, mostly at night when my body complains about how dehydrated it is. Hopefully it will be easier after the holidays.

Setting some goals.

So, I read that if you want to make a change, you need to set goals. Then, I read, that you need to write them down. Okay, so here goes. I want to lose 20% of my body weight. I want to develop three healthy habits. I want to stop trying and start doing.

Once you set your goals, set a time-line. Lose 20% in 9 months. Okay, 20% for me would be 45 pounds. 9 months to do it would be five pounds a month. That sounds completely reasonable.
Develop three healthy habits. I don't know how long it takes to make something a habit. So, maybe I should define three healthy habits that I want, and set to work on them.
1-) drink water throughout the day.
2-) eat living foods...fruits and vegetables.
3-) break a sweat 3 times a week.
And, don't just write it down, but put some effort into it. That's going to mean updating my progress often. Holding myself accountable. Did I exercise? Am I drinking water? Am I eating healthy/living foods?

This blog cannot be an idle thing. I should update often, even if the news is bad. Don't change the goals just because I want to make things easier for myself. That will only be a temporary fix. Remember that some hard work and discomfort now, will make me better able to enjoy my life later.

If you don't like what you see in the mirror, the power is in you to change that.
