Weekly Goals

At the end of July I started on a journey to lose weight and get in better shape! With my father-in-law just having quadruple bypass surgery it has reinforced the importance of eating right and exercising! I want to live a long and healthy life and I know that my eating habits can be much improved upon! Since July 26 I have lost a total of 22.5 pounds which is an average of 1.3 pounds per week! I know this isn't stellar but I have managed to keep those Thanksgiving pounds away! I have noticed some of my old habits kicking in again so it is time to set some goals and kick it back into gear. The year is almost over and I'd like to lose another 8 pounds by January 1. So this week my goals are:

• to log my food
• workout for at least 30 minutes 5 times this week
• log at least 10,000 steps daily on my fitbit (which I haven't worn in over a week)

This will be difficult as we have been spending every spare minute traveling back and forth to the hospital which is over an hour away and grabbing meals out. My sister and her husband are also coming into town next weekend to celebrate the holidays with us and we are planning a big family dinner but there is no time like the present!
