Evaluating The Progress Along The Way!
So here we are 10 days into the new year!!! How is it going so far? Have you already fallen off the resolution wagon? Are you on target with the goals that you have set for yourself?
One goal that I have for the year is to not get into a food rut! When food gets boring, I tend to look to not so healthy choices for myself. So I have started looking for different websites that are healthy options!!! One that I really like so far and have found some really good recipes on is www.skinnytaste.com
They have a lot of recipes to choose from. We haven't found a bad one yet that we have tried! We have several coming up the next several days and weeks to come that we are going to try.
How's the exercise going? Try your best to move at least 15 minutes a day. The more you do that you will be able to increase your time exercising and in my own experience I have noticed that I have more energy! Even if it is walking in place during commercials you will almost get 15 minutes during a 30 minute show on television! I have also noticed that by the time bed time rolls around I am not wanting to stay up and piddle around on the computer or watch TV. My body tells me it is time to call it a day...if it is 8:30 or 10:00.
One thing to remember is that you have to have a plan!!! As Sir Winston Churchill said "He who fails to plan is planning to fail." Get a plan a follow through! Let 2012 be the year of change for the better!!!
Keep on keeping on!!!
