    January is a perfect time to renew our goals and reflect on 2010. :flowerforyou: I had to share below with you all! Happy hump day!

    Daily Inspiration for December 28, 2010
    Katie Jay, MSW

    Reflect first, then plan.

    On New Year's Eve, many people talk about their plans for the coming year. They make resolutions and hope for better times ahead. But before you start down the resolution path, pause for a moment and truly reflect. What can you learn from the past year about yourself? Have you discovered what works in terms of your health and what doesn't?

    You can make resolutions soon (or better yet, set goals), but today look back. You owe it to yourself to learn your lessons, so that you can grow wiser and healthier in the coming year.

    Action for the day: Even if you usually don't journal, take a few minutes to do this exercise. Make a list of things you wish you had done differently this past year, and then a list of what you did well. Next to the things you wish you had done differently, write down a step you can take to ensure you won't repeat that mistake. Next to the things you did well write down what you can do to continue having success in that area. Read this list every morning in January.

    Just get your ticker code and copy and paste it into the signature box. You'll see it right above you (Home, Recent Posts etc)

    Everything else you type will be in green. :)

    I hope that's clear, i'm kinda incoherant today. LOL

    (if I read right) - I think we reveal our starting photos at the half-way mark.... so - you will have your start photo & your halfway photo so everyone can see the progress :0)

    I'm so excited for this group!

    Woo hoo! I am really excited for this! This challenge is just what I need to stay motivated until the summer. My cousin is getting married June 11th and seeing a 40lb loss by then will be AMAZING! My original goal was to see another 35-40lbs gone by then anyway so this really works out great!

    I'm Amy, by the way. Totally looking forward to sharing my results with you all! :)
