As I ponder the idea of getting healthy, I realize that I need some goals. Okay. I ask myself what I want to see in my life. Lose a hundred pounds, run a 5K, bike for 26 miles, have glowing skin and tight muscles, be free of joint pain, have so much energy that I can't sit still longer than an hour... Well these goals are silly. At least silly for the me at this time. Some of them may be more achievable than others, but I realize I need to set small goals, attainable goals, goals that make sense.
So here it goes...
I will take my weight loss 10 lbs at a time and if it takes me six months to lose it, that's okay. It just gives me something to work for.
I will begin walking again. If I can work up to walking two to three miles in a few months, I will be happy.
I will go back to the gym to do some weight baring exercises to help with the joint pain.
I will begin to do research on living a healthy lifestyle.
Goals, smaller bite size goals. Take one day at a time to make little changes, that is how I will begin.
I took my que from you and started an accountability blog for weight loss and health. http://losetheexcuseslosetheweight.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteMy sisters and I have a challenge going to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks. We are beginning week four. We are all doing okay--maybe even good--but it is a struggle every single day! I yearn for this to be a habit that I don't have to think about and plan for! I wish the best for you!
