    I'm going to focus on slow and steady. I always want fast results and it never works. I'm also going to work on moderation and portion control because if I try to deny myself, I always end up going off the rails - big time.

    "1. Stop getting on the scale very day. I love stats but daily weigh-ins at this point are counter productive. Once a week is my target.
    2. Get on the elliptical 3x a week for 20 minutes in the morning. This one will be rough since I'm not a morning person at all
    3. Get a road bike in the spring and bike to work at least 2x a week (it's about 15 mi) starting in May"

    These goals meet SMART critera:
    Specific
    Measurable
    Attainable
    Relevant, and
    Time-bound

    I like!

    I also like the "I've decided to accept my awesomeness". :D

    Seriously, though, I will continue the oatmeal in a jar and salad in a jar trends that I started this fall/winter because its as close to Bachelor Chow as I can get.

    What I will do differently...
    -seek dental consult for jaw pain (now that I finally have dental coverage again)
    -so I can increase my vegetable intake (I miss kale!)
    -check out Zombies Run! C25K
    -find and take a strength training for women class at my Y so I learn how to lift safely
    -5 days out of 7 minimum of 30 minute walks for my sanity

    Focusing on great nutrition : more raw foods
    Eliminate caffiene.. (already down from 2- 24oz cappaccunio's to 2c. black coffee a day)
    switch workout to evening and add more cardio

    i am focusing on my own hwalth this year. my children are grown up and this past year i spent being at their beck n call, so they have been told that 2013 is going to be my year for me time. i have told them i am going to take care of myself. i have told my partner the same as he told me i wasnt allowed to go back to work cos he didnt like the people i worked with. he soon got told if he thinks that then he can sling his hook.
    i am going to think more positive aswell and try and loose some weight even if my health issues are fighting against me

    I've already made the phone calls and will be joining a mixed league at my local bowling alley (hopefully this Thursday will be my first day). I was an accomplished bowler in my teen years and have wanted to get back into league bowling for years, but raising my kids & my work schedule just didn't allow it to fit in. Now that my kids can take care of themselves & I'm moving to a day shift, I can do just that. I also plan on joining a women's softball team this summer. I haven't played since I was a teenager & it's the one sport I loved to play that will really get me moving & get some exercise! Soooo looking forward to both of them! :happy:

    I plan to focus on healthy choices. Ditch the daily scale weigh-in, focus on biweekly or even monthly measurements, weight, pictures, etc. Focus more on how my clothes fit, how I feel. I've been doing this for 6 months, I think I can try to not focus so much on the OCD details that haven't really seemed to matter in the long run, but focus on the bigger picture of a good diet and regular exercise.

    My goal is set small attainable goals each month. I firmly believe baby steps will get me to the end result I am hoping for.
    January: Reduce midnight snacking to 1 night a week (will be very hard for me) and do 30 minutes of cardio 4 days a week.
    February: Increase water intake
    March: Continue to weigh my food so I am always aware of how much I am consuming.
    After 3 months I will see where I am at and see what further goals need to be made.
    Good luck to all and have a Happy New Year!

    I want to learn a martial art. Never done one before.

    Eating : get my head around the correct portion type each meal ie protein, carbs, etc.
