My 101 in 1001 list has a section dedicated to Healthy Living, and sadly, I have not crossed one thing off.... yet. I'm using this link up to focus on living healthier and work on my fitness.
My goals this month are:
- Drink 60 oz of water every day for at least one week (on the 101 list)
- Walk or do workout videos for 30 minutes at least three times a week
- Start using MyFitnessPal regularly
- Eat in moderation
- Really quit drinking Diet Coke. (I've slipped a few times, ugh!)
Seems pretty easy, right? The water and MyFitnessPal shouldn't be too difficult (you know, minus the whole being hungry bit). The working out is hard for me - by the time my girls are in bed, it's 8pm and all I want to do is crash on the couch with some sort of dessert or alcoholic drink and watch trashy reality tv. This will be a big change for me!
Also, I am not a fan of restricting myself from certain things. If I stop myself from eating any pizza, or no sweets, I fail in a major way. (Picture me eating an entire pizza and topping it off with a chocolate bar. Not pretty.) So, instead of eating four cookies, I'll have one. Or, instead of eating 5 slices of pizza, I'll have two. I don't believe in doing anything extreme, because for me personally, it will never work in the long run.
Are you participating in this link up? Let me know so we can cheer each other on!
