Whenever one sets out to accomplish something, clear goals must be stated. I have already mentioned that I want to lose 100 pounds, however in an effort to keep myself from dwelling on that huge number I have decided to really focus on my smaller steps. I have posted a "Goals" page on here that lists my mini-goals and will be updating that as I meet each of those milestones.
For now, I am choosing to focus on two short-term goals:
1. Lose 5 pounds
2. Exercise at least 30 minutes every day - even if it is just a simple walk around the neighborhood
In order to accomplish these two things, I will log my foods into MyFitnessPal online. I will follow the calorie range that the site has given me. I will also log exercise into the site. I will get to bed at a decent time so that I am able to wake up and exercise. I have two kids and a husband who is in grad school and two bands - evenings for me are not usually an option. If I want to be successful with exercise I need to find a way to make myself get up early and get it done in the mornings. This is something that I really struggle with, however I know it is a choice that I really need to make.
To get started, I'm telling you, the internet, that I intend to wake up tomorrow morning and go for a walk. I plan to post photographic evidence of my doing this . . . so if I don't, you know where to find me!
I have failed . . . I forgot to post my photographic evidence - however I did walk for 30 minutes today :)
