Hot 100 - Update #2

My goals:

• Kicking my Diet Mt. Dew habit for good 

While is this being lessened, I have yet to give it up for good.

• Exercising for at least 30 minutes 4-5 days a week.

I managed twice this week.

• Limiting carbs to 45-50 per meal and 15 per snack

Not even close.

• Using my tracking forms for food, blood sugars, and exercise at least 5-6 days a week.

Didn't happen at all.

• Going to bed no later than 11pm every night. 

I actually managed 3 out of the 7 nights - way better than ever before.

*******************************

There is definitely a part of me that wants to throw in the towel. It feels like I just can't do it. Then I watch The Biggest Loser. Yeah, talk about motivating! Seriously - it does motivate me. I just seem to forget that each and every day.

One thing I have realized is I need to focus on 1-2 goals at a time and then build on them. After all, "they" do say it takes about a month to establish a habit. I need to change some of my really bad habits in to better ones.

So - I am revising my goals!

1. Because I am already working on getting off the Diet Dew, I am going to consider this a "goal in progress" and continue working off this. By the end of 30 days (by my report on 11/12), I want to report that I am drinking no DMD!
2. Since we have all recently heard how much sleep plays a role in weight loss, I will continue working on my goal of going to bed every single night by 11pm. 
3. The last goal will be my exercise one. I am revising it slightly....20-30 minutes of exercise 3-4 days a week. This would include a walk outside, a Leslie Sansone walking video (at least 2 miles), or the Wii Biggest Loser workout. I tried the yoga one this week. Oh.my.gosh. Tough! So yeah, that stays.

Here's to the end of the year and new habits!
