my new goal started yesterday. I am going to glue my pedometer to my body (well, not literally) and work at increasing my steps each day. I guess I need a visual, daily reminder that I am making progress. I only weigh once a month at my doctor's office so I need something more frequent to keep me motivated. Using the pedometer has helped in the past so here goes.

Guess it never hurts to revisit old goals.

So far, I'm doing pretty well at alternating my workouts, but the past two Saturdays, I've let exercise slip. The scale is still moving down though!

My goal is to remember that the best tasting bites are the first and second. After that, the taste/pleasure ratio goes down. I know that sounds strange, but it'll keep A LOT of unnecessary calories out!! (Like the 3rd thru 15th bites of fudge!).

my goal is to challenge myself BEFORE I place any food in my mouth...Is this what I really need to develop a healthy and fit body? ...no more mindless grazing.

I understand the losing/gaining of the same 5-7 lbs. I feel the frustration but know that I am going to win by getting over the hump...I just believe that it is time:) I can do it! I will do it! I believe you'll be able to as well!

I keep losing & gaining the same 5-7 lbs. I'll get down to 296-7 then I'll go back up to 302-3 again. Six times this has happened. It's frustrating. This is the month that this cycle gets broken. I don't want to be over 300 lbs. ever again!

My goal is going to be to keep up my workout schedule of alternating Turbo Jam (or other higher intensity cardio workouts) and Yoga Booty Ballet (or other yoga workouts). It seemed to work for me this month, so I think that I want to continue with it!

A new month is here, now what? Let's make some goals for the tough month of December. Maybe your goal will be not to gain weight, or maybe to keep up the exercise even when the weather outside stops you from walking.
Each week post your progress or your frustrations.
