My commitment for a healthy body, mind and spirit.

Hi there! I really like the idea of a group focused on a smaller increment goal. Thanks for organizing.
I am 49 and live in Colorado.
I hit #50 this coming year and want to feel strong heading into August!
Start weight: 133
Goal weight - 123
Diet - Veggies, less sugar, wine on weekends only or when meeting a friend (which hopefully will happen a lot in 2021 since all was shut down this past year!).
Daily plan - vitamins, water, my chinese herbs, bed by 10:30
-hour of exercise with a focus on weights (I prefer cardio and have avoided core work lately and I think that,
plus the cold and stress, is why my weight creeped up in quarantine).
Joyful acts: gratitude, find quiet moments and nature. like haliene, also focus on relationships, letting go of outcomes.

Hi I would like to participate in this challenge. My name is Mary from Ontario Canada. I am on the road to become a healthier person and that involves weight reduction. In the past I have always tried to lose weight quickly. This time my approach is a pound a week. It took 15 years to gain this weight. I would like to lose 10 pounds by April 1st. Reading the post of the group everyone sounds excited and upbeat.

Courtney’, evaluate your plan. To many carbs, exercise, not enough water, menstruating , poor elimination all can contribute to your results. Assess and adjust and move forward. My physical therapist always reminded me, I did not gain the excess weight in a day, week or month. Keep it slow and steady. (((Hug)))0
