Vague, I know. I want to lose 30 pounds and firm up my body, but I need more than one summer for that! Instead, I've settled on implementing a few changes.
Walking every day - a trip down our road and back equates to 2.0 miles. For the past nine days I've made at least one trip - and seven of the days I've made two trips. Not bad for a self-proclaimed couch potato. Well, more like a desk potato if I'm to be honest.
I attribute my early success to our granddog, Abby. She LOVES to go for walks. And there's something about her perky ears and wagging tail that encourages me to go for a walk even when minutes before I decided to skip it. I guess I don't like to disappoint - be it people or animals. The good news is that the more I walk, the more I want to walk. This morning I was up at 5:45 and out the door a few minutes later.
Our walks are always interesting, but more on that in another post.
Drinking lots of water - I already have this one down pat. I normally drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.
Choosing wisely - ah...my Achilles' heel. This is the "make or break" change that will determine my success. Watching portions, eating healthy without depriving myself of the joy of a yummy cheeseburger or french fries when necessary! Scary stuff!
