2013: What will you do differently?

#1: I want to break my sugar habit. It's getting out of control!
#2: I plan on starting some heavy lifting. Just dowloaded NROLFW on my Kindle Fire!

Here's to a wonderful 2013! :drinker:

I planning to rest more, stretch more and drink even more water. Working out is not my problem. It's the smaller but just as important things that I first mentioned.

Every year I focus completely on how much weight have a I lost - which is no fun for me. This year I have created a points system and gotten a few of my friends to join me. The goal is 10 pts per day - 1 pt for every meal you eat that is healthy, 2 points for drinking all your water, 3 points for working out 30 min, 2 pts for using the food diary - total 10 points, Then when you reach 150 points - you get a reward - a new book, workout video - manicure. Anything but a food related treat. That way I am looking a the positives - eating healthy and working out - and not getting discouraged over how much weight I did or didn;t lose. The idea is for all the good things to become a habit. Plus we will all take bathing suit picures to show each other - every 30 days - now that some accountability - LOL.

NOTHING!
The principles of health and fitness transformed life life and continue to do so.
Progress shall continue through 2013 just as it did in 2012.

1. Will not settle
2. Will not underestimate myself EVER again
3. Keep this change (eating in moderation and exercising)
I will remind myself that NOT one single piece of junk food I eat that tastes good will ever compare to how I feel now. I only have ONE body and one life to take care of it!

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".

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

I really need to get around to giving P90X2 a go.

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'll celebrate "bud lights thru a crazy straw" on Fridays AND Saturday's.... Instead of just Fridays.
