- Keep logging daily.
- Keep fitting in an average of 10,000 steps/day (some days more, some days less, but 10,000 steps/day on average).
- Focus on my goal of weight maintenance a couple of times each day -- and continue to stay inspired by actively offering support to others.
- Go easy with the bread. It is my weak spot. I'm fine if I have it occasionally -- not fine if I have it a couple of times each day. :-)

I log everyday.My biggest foe is sugar binges, not doing that at all would great. Exercise is now part of my life, I should do weights more. So that could be a goal for once a week.0

So we've got 13 signed up for this already - that's really great.
Maybe we can convince a few more - come on, you know you want to!0 -
Well, the week isn't over, but I got my weights in today and haven't had a sugar binge yet.0

Yay, Jen! I'm on track so far, too.
Didn't feel like going for a walk this afternoon, but I did it anyway. I'm glad I did. I always feel better (happier and less anxious) after I come back from a walk.

I've used my little elliptical thing twice this week, not every day but more than I was doing! Still just stepping over the bag of weights in my family room though!0

2. Stay under my daily calorie allotment.

I'll give it a shot:
Goals for the month
1) Keep logging food daily, but measure it and try to be more accurate in the log
2) Exercise daily, either walking the dog, or even better riding my bike if the weather cooperates
3) See the scale move (downwards
) It's been stuck for a long time
4) Do something creative every day - write a story, paint a picture, or make some jewlery
