2013: What will you do differently?

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.

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:

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.
