    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?
