Morn'n ladies. Today IS the first day of me take'n care of ME!

I have been gawd awlful sick for about 1.5 months - flu, sinus infection, flu again and animia. I pretty much slept the entire month & a half. Being where I have a business I run from home, being sick for so long has put me way behind w/my work *frowns*.

Over the weekend, I started to feel a little more like a human being again.

Some prior history: I went on a 'healthy' kick a while back. Lost 20#s in 6 mos & have pretty much put it all back on in about the same amount of time. I need to figure out why I keep sabotaging myself. I know how good I feel when I eat right, loose weight & exercise, but instead of stay'n on path, I jump off in to the tangles of previous bad habbits. I've done this twice so far (1st time I lost 30#s & put back on 40), perhaps the 3rd time is the charm & the healthier life style will stick...

Starting weight: 188

My goals:
1. Eating healthy - lots of veggies.
2. Replace soda & coffee with WATER.
3. Lower my cholesterol. Current LDL is 146, needs to get down to 130.
4. Exercise minimum 3x a week for 20+ minutes.
5. Improve mental health.
6. Loose weight.

That sounds like a lot of goals but I'm going to take it one day at a time. I'll work on focusing on the success I have each day no matter how small they may be.
