What I have decided

[beth6395]

Wonderful tips and input you have all given me I have researched and listened. Thank YOu from the bottom of my heart and this is what I am going for.

Fruits and veggies
Cutting out white bread and slathering the butter on will switch to whole wheat
No snacking after 7 p.m.
Eating breakfast using all the ideas I have picked up from all of you.
I will not completely deprive myself of the sweets just limit to a sample
No FAST FOOD I will find an alternative
Make sure those ingredients listed are in the first 5
Include Protein bars in my day (Can I eat one after a workout)?

I need to be realistic and start making small changes I do not want to be set up for a failure.

I will not completely cut out the weight lifting I will keep 2 days of the week a circuit with the weights.

I am going to a spinning class every Saturday

Going to a Gym on Tuesday evenings for the machines

This is my start and I am excited. Now did I leave anything significant out?

Beth,

Sounds like a great start! Remember to get plenty of rest too, and go easy on yourself mentally if you slip up!

Good luck!

Beth, now that you've set your goals, why not join a check-in to help keep you on track?
