Those sound like long term doable goals..

I agree we will all getter done but now point coming out of the gate too fast as this is the last time we will have to look at that number on the scale right?

So it's January 2nd and it's time to get back to reality after a couple weeks of school being out, parties and family gatherings and a general disregard for normal eating. I am setting 3 small goals for me today:

1. Logging my food on MFP.
2. Play outside in the snow with my girls. They have been asking to build a snowman for 3 days.
3. Walk on my treadmill for 30 mins.

All of these items are simple enough. I want to include doing something with my kids in every little challenge I give myself. Sometimes with work and our busy life, I forget to make time for them too.

My goals are similar to get structure and also fun back in my life.
1. Logging food - it's actually fun to see what you're eating and how it adds up. Sometimes it's even better when you realize. What?! I'm short calories and can have a cup of lite cocoa at night to unwind!

2. Playing with daughter - so many of my previous activities did not include my daughter as she's 6 years old and can't invite her on a 12 mile run. I work full time and leaving her on the weekend mornings makes me sad. Time to change and find activities we can both enjoy and have fun together.

3. Training - Minimum 3 days of strength training and cardio and incorporate more stretching to improve injuries and chronic pain. Do you know how fun it is to be active and not suffer from pain and discomfort most of the time? So much fun!

I forgot to ask... I notice that I am a little low on the protein content of my choices. I am not a big meat eater. wondering if anyone has ideas for good sources of protein to insert into my meals??
