(Hope it cools off here some.) I weighed this morning and will again next Tuesday. I'd like to loose 10 pounds by August 15 so got to get started. Of course I need to loose over 100+ pounds really. Thanks again to all.
It is always good to make smaller goals to acheive so you feel successful. My total weight I want to lose is about 70 lbs but my monthly goal is around 8 lbs. I want to focus on the small steps not the big picture.
SO my goals this month are as follows:
1. lose 8 lbs and keep it off ( already at my goal weight loss not to keep it off)
2. drink as close to 100 ounces of water each day
3. prepare meals for work that are healthy
4. stay away from the vending machines at work
5. walk 3 times per week for a minimum of 15 mins.
6. to get my diabetes under control,
7. to write in a journal of how i am feeling and what challenges i am facing.
I hope this helps someone. I feel great about writing out the goals.
