Week 23 - Counting Down

 Only three short weeks of weekly group sessions left!  I feel like I need more information, more support, more time.  I am determined that this is just the beginning, so I really hope I am prepared for this journey.  How is this time going to be different?  It’s a very nervous time.  Well, I do have a plan….

1. I will commit to the monthly group session – without fail.
2. I will weight myself and record every day
3. I have set up an ‘alarm’ system – if my weight is 5 pounds above weight for 3 days in a row, I will drop down to the 1,300 calorie diet, and step up my exercise.
4. I will keep a strict food/exercise log for the first year
5. I will keep a healthy habits journal
6. I will continue my goal to achieve 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 6 days out of 7 days
7. I will set some exercise goals each year – Spring and Fall  (More to follow)
8. I will become a member of the National Weight Control Registry – you have to have lost 30 pounds, or more, and kept it off for one year to join.
9. I will become actively involved in helping others lose weight and make healthy choices – this should help me to stay more active and accountable
10. I will gather a support group around me to hold me accountable for my healthy habits

I would encourage you to keep checking back and see if I'm still 'on track'
