Love these California sunsets from my kitchen window overlooking the neighborhood.
If you have started a weight lose program in the past, did you discovered that change does not happen overnight? I sure learned it this past month.
I lost one whole pound during January. I see why the statement the last five pounds to lose are the hardest to lose is true. I have some consolation since I only want to lose 5 pounds in total.
Fitness and improved health requires a lifetime commitment to exercise and proper eating.
Even though my scale may not show good results, I feel successful meeting my January goals.
First, I stopped drinking alcohol for the entire month. Frankly, it wasn’t hard to do and I will continue in February.
Second, during the days that I wore my fitbit – 26 of them – I took 124,505 steps. Sounds like a lot to me. I noticed that I took around 2,500 steps just walking during the day and added on at least another 2,500 steps with a focused activity – dancing, walking in place, etc. So I am definitely continuing using this device.
My new February goals are:
(1) Drink Water! at least recommended the 8 cups a day. Should be easy.
(2) No Chocolate. This will be a challenge. On day one alone, I miss my treats.
Can’t wait to see what happens by month’s end.
How did you do?
