My weightloss journey (This time around) sure has gotten off to a lot slower start :(

I have many areas that I know I need improvement, but I do not want to overwhelm myself like I usually do by changing everything all at once. I think I will have a goal or two each month that I will focus on, and try to continue on with throughout my journey as best as I can.

HEATHER'S GOALS FOR MAY

1.) Drink 98oz of water everyday (6 Bottles/12Cups)**

2.) 10,000 Steps per day***

3.) Be down to my next "Mini-Goal" of 190lbs



** I read that drinking half of your body weight in oz's of water per day is optimum for your health soI am going to give it a shot!

***I am getting my Fitbit next week so I am hoping this will push me to be more active when I am not at the gym :)

    My goal for may is to hit 10,000 steps every day!

    Keep going strong with insanity.

    Chill out on the beer! Or at least go back to light/ultra and leave the high calorie craft alone!

    Keep my carbs under 150g a day.. Preferably closer to 100.. Not something I typically do but that's this month's goal.

    Drink my water! I'm a big slacker but I've been trying more lately.

    My jawbone (I want a fitbit lol) has made a huge difference! There's been a few days where i wanna be lazy and I check my steps and I'm like oh crap! And I tell my girls I'm gong for a walk grab your bikes is time to go! It's a big influence on me.

    1. Drink half my weight in ounces plus 8 oz for every 30 minutes of activity. This I read is ideal. It has also worked in the past.
    2. Increase raw veggies and Juicing
    3. Get a pedometer and get 10,000 steps in
    4. Complete post natal workout dvd 3x week in addition to my walks with hubby/family.

    Here are my goals for May:

    To keep my goals manageable so as not to overwhelm myself. Baby steps.

    Week 1: 8 glasses of water a day (I never drink water which is very bad)
    Week 2: add at least 1day walking and 1day at gym
    Week 3: add 2 more walking days
    Week 4: add 1 more gym day

    My weaknesses are water and physical activity. I hope if I get these going, the rest will fall in place.

    I did horrible! I really tried the first week or so but being out of town 3/4 of the month killed me! SO I am shooting for the same goals this month and I WILL meet them!

    I did this the majority of the time
    2. Increase raw veggies and Juicing
    i did not get this done
    3. Get a pedometer and get 10,000 steps in
    I did get a pedometer but the closest I got was a little over 5000 steps.
    4. Complete post natal workout dvd 3x week in addition to my walks with hubby/family.
    i trailed off here. Did for the first two weeks and slacked off.
