I'm determined to do better in 2013. I've started a Facebook group with like minded friends with the same goals. My goal isn't necessarily losing weight, but to get heathy and feel better. I don't feel as well as I did when I was eating right and exercising almost everyday.
I'm going to post a few reachable goals (not New Years resolutions that will be broken)
My goals are:
1. Get back to healthy eating with a little cheat time on weekends when I'm more likely to wanna cheat out of boredom. Not going to deprive myself but use portion control on the cheats.
2. Exercise at least 4 times a week. I was doing 7 days a week and more than once some days, but my husband was complaining that I was in the gym too often.
3. Try to drink more plain water. This is a struggle for me because I don't like the plain taste of water. I can drink it all day with crystal light or the like in it, but I'm going to try to shoot for plain yucky water at times too. I already drink water with lemon when I go out to eat, so maybe I can start doing that every now and then.
4. Keep like minded friends around me to help me stay motivated- including Facebook friends and myfitnesspal friends.
5. Be an encouragement to my family and friends who are also trying to be healthier.
All 5 seem like very doable goals. I experienced feeling better by getting healthier, and feel like crap when I junk it up and don't exercise. It may mean that some days I cook 2 meals or at least 1 1/2 so my boys don't complain about always eating chicken and/or steamed veggies every day.
Who's with me? Who wants to be accountable with me? Lets make a pact to be healthy. Our husbands, kids, and other family deserve our best. Eating garbage and being lazy isn't giving them, ourselves or even God our best.
No excuses because I can do ALL things thru Christ who strengthens me! :)
This picture is of me 3 weeks ago. I hope to post every month or so with any progress or issues I've had in this journey.
Peace out friends........ Until next time
