Music is a huge part of my workout and just day to day stuff. SO much so my husband refuses to by me an ipod with less then 64 gigs of memory. I listen to to much Music for smaller he says. My favorite way to move and make it fun is a really fun song playlist and just literally dance my way through housework. Gets stuff done that I hate doing and makes me feel so much better. Good Luck with the goals. Report Inappropriate Comment

Barbie - absolutely love this blog, reminds us to set our focus & goals beyond just our nutrition & exercise goals, but to focus on other goals that will complete the mental health as well such as organization. Living healthy is more than just what we eat but our outlook & how we complete our days ---without a doubt you will be a success in 2013! Report Inappropriate Comment

A great list of goals for the New Year. I am just doing one goal each month. And for January it is to drink my water. I think this is the hardest thing for me. I have a bottle in my pickup - and I take a drink every time I get in and when I get out. However, today the water was frozen - now that was really funny. Want to wish you the best for the coming year - and keep those goals in front of you each day!! barb Report Inappropriate Comment

Working toward my first goal

Sunday, December 30, 2012

Well today I did not go out anywhere I decided to stay in and work towards my first goal .. this week my first week on the plan I organized my whole kitchen.. decluttered it.. threw away anything that was out dated, looked funny, or have not used at all. Now my kitchen looks organized and clean,a place where I feel like cooking healthy.. got my cookbooks dusted them and put on my counter top visible to my eye so that when I get bored of what I am eating look into a new recipe and whip it up. Today I aw an old recipe of my grandmothers saw that it was healthy and did it.. saw that I had sweet pepper and hot dribble some olive oil and roasted them on the barbeque..took out some chicken breast seasoned it and threw it on the grill too. took out my slow cooker and made some chicken vegetable soup..now I have food for a couple of days no excuse to eat fast food when I have the fridge full of healthy food. right?? made an inventory of what I have and made a list of what i need .. for next grocery trip..you know getting organized helped me not think about food to eat and I think I did some exercise at least I sweated a little bit .. I am proud of my newly organized kitchen.. now i shall tackle the rest of the house little by little.. New Me HERE I COME 2013 hahahah

Great job! Hubby and I have been cleaning out the kitchen this week and have stocked the house full of fruits/veggies/healthy foods as well. I'm also in closet clean-out mode. Getting rid of everything that doesn't fit or I never wear. It's been very cleansing! Deb Report Inappropriate Comment

What a wonderful day you had!! Good for you. When I was growing up we did a lot of spontaneous things. We did not have a car and people would just drop by. Mom would put together a picnic lunch for all - seems like she always had the makings- and off we would go to the river. And, what fun we would have. So glad you did that - and am sure you and your family will have some wonderful memories of your day. And a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!! barb Report Inappropriate Comment

one day at a time i thought it was great that you got out there and enjoyed life when you were feeling not so good and you have beautiful memories. hugs Report Inappropriate Comment

You can get healthy, it just takes time. One step at a time!! start out small and work up to longer times and you will be able to do that same thing and then you will also notice that you are not huffing and puffing as you walk. Report Inappropriate Comment

Don't get to upset with the setback. We have them from time to time. Just re-evaluate what your doing and just get back on track. Report Inappropriate Comment

Good Luck! You can do it! I don't know what will make you keep going. It took me a couple of years to finally get it and now that I've reached my goal, I never want to go back. You just have to keep pushing even when you want to give in. Hopefully after awhile it will be easier for you. Report Inappropriate Comment

ALEXSGIRL1 12/28/2012 7:53PM

you are doing awesome so far. just keep it up. don't look back only forward. eat as healthy as you can , exercise as often as you can get 8 hrs of sleep and smile. Report Inappropriate Comment

GOOSIEMOON 12/28/2012 7:49PM

That IS a good start! Make small promises to yourself and keep them, do it again and again and when you fall off the wagon get right back on and let the guilt go@ You are worth the time and effort this takes! Report Inappropriate Comment

Things are looking good..

Tuesday, September 18, 2012

This time around I have been more committed to my changing the way I live my life. I try to live each day to the fullest with no regrets..I have been exercising more and more .. made it like a game always looking to sneek in 10 mins of moving around my main thing is walking.. by the end of the day with its and bits here and there makes it to 45 mins or more.. now I am incorporating some weights.. gonna try out sit ups and push ups.. before I did not care now I do... want to get to 50 nice and healthy... ( I am 47) right now I can play with my boys at the park or on wii.. I am proud of that for I am making memories for them of a fun mom...The eating on most of the time I do good but once every two weeks I get a craving and I sometimes give in.. but the good thing is the next day I push harder on my exercise.. also I made it like a game to try a new fruit or veggie every week .. finding that I love kale.. on the fruits I am like dragon fruit ... want to be adventurance... getting into eating once a week vegetarian..so that I tried out tofu .. was not so bad.. I mean things are looking good because now I choose healthy items without thinking or dreading it... I'm having more energy .. but do not get me wrong there are days life just does not let me do all the healthy things I am doing (STRESS) but the next day I get back on the barn wagon and move forward... and the best of all this change this time around is that I am enjoying it .. and my sons are proud of me ... not that feeling is the best to have them look up to me....

Sounds like a great plan. Report Inappropriate Comment

about those cravings, if they are for trigger food that you cannot control your responce to, try substatuting something close that is good for you. if it is just for something not on you food plan, why is that food in moderation not on your food plan? craving usually are your bodys' attempt to tell you it is missing some nutriciant Report Inappropriate Comment
