2013 GOALS

Tuesday, December 25, 2012

These are my goals for 2013:

1. one pound per week which would be 52 pounds during 2013

2. walk 5 of 7 days ( and actually get outside and do it) outside when weather permits it....take DJ walking to strengthen his legs as he is having more and more difficulty getting up

3. stay within the 1200 to 1500 calorie range--maybe even lowering my calorie range

4. blog progress every 2 weeks

Have you made goals yet??

Howdy! from a very cold DFW area of Texas!

I've made some goals, but I'm not decided exactly how to put them down in the order I want to achieve them. I'm starting on my eating challenge today. I still have quite a ways to go to reach the goal weight my doctors want me to weigh. Please read my page to learn about me.

Let's keep each other's backs and we can do anything.

Good luck and great success on all of your goals!

Have a blessed day and wonderful journey to the new you!

Thursday's Weigh In

Friday, December 21, 2012

I was down 1.2 pounds on Thursday when I weighed in........some of the 2 pounds regained the previous week by eating hi sodium meals.....

Plan to do as well if not better this week......which isn't off to such a great start.....had a roasted chicken breast on 9 grain honey wheat from Subway, then granddaughter made taco salad for supper.....under calories but over on sodium...

Contemplating Goals For 2013

Tuesday, December 18, 2012

While I haven't written down any specific goals for 2013, I have begun pondering over them.

These are some for a rough draft:

1. adding to the 16 pounds I am down from my surgery...increasing the number of pounds down not up.......lol---goal is 1 pound per week which would be 52 pounds gone by this time in 2013

2. walk 5 of 7 days ( and actually get outside and do it) outside when weather permits it....take DJ walking to strengthen his legs as he is having more and more difficulty getting up

3. stay within the 1200 to 1500 calorie range--maybe even lowering my calorie range

4. blog progress every 2 weeks

keeping goals simple and short so to better accomplish them.

Great goals! Simple to remember but enough work here for a year.

Short and simple is the way to go, in my opinion. When I had long lists, it was just overwhelming.

Yes, I need to think about goal setting for the new year. You are wise beyond your years and a great example.

Guess 3 was too many

Thursday, December 13, 2012

This past week, I consumed 3 regular meals, 2 at Christmas functions and one at a casino, which I guess was too many because my weight went up a little over 2 pounds. I knew it would go up once I restarted regular food so I guess it's back to soup for me a while longer.

You can not change what is past. So now is what you can change. Don't lose hope. There are a lot of second chances.

remember, fiber and roughage deter colon cancer. Perhaps it is not how MUCH you ate, but WHAT you ate,, more sodium than the soups, higher carb content?? Your body probably grabbed right on to any fluids it could from those foods too.. baby steps..

I read some of your prev. blogs and I want to tell you that I am very, very happy that God held you in His arms and let us have you here longer. there are no accidents with Him and that surgeon would not have let you leave that day/night without making it right. I am adding a thank-you to my prayers to Him tonight for the gift of You.

you are fine .... losing weight while sick is usually not a normality ....you definitely needed nutrition .... you will be ok .... Roc
