Lulu201's Healthy Living Plan

[lulu201]

Hey, everybody. I'm starting a new journal here on the WISH today. . .it's been awhile since I've had one, but it's helped me stay on track before, so I'm back to give it a try again!

My name is Erin. I'm 45 and I need to lose 40 lbs.(again ) My plan is not anything new--it's just my attempt to blend some of the aspects of my life into one big "healthy living plan."

Here's how it looks each day:

1. Devotions--I read/pray at the beginning of each day.
2. Meds and Vitamins--I need this written reminder to get the job done!
3. Water--I try to drink 6-8 glasses per day.
4. Exercise--my goal is to exercise at least 20 min. each day.
5. Food Log--I'm trying to get back in the habit of WRITING IT ALL DOWN! I'm also going to try counting points (without going to WW meetings, since I have all the stuff and I have WISH for support!).
6. Scale--I get on that beast every day to see where I'm at.

It'll be two years ago in April that I walked with Ocean City Half Marathon with MelanieC and DoeWDW. . .it's hard to believe I'm looking at the same body!

My exercise goal is to walk a minimum of 20 min. each day on the treadie or with DH. My weight loss goal for the month of January is to lose at least 5 lbs. and get back to ONEderland (-5 will be 198 for me).

I'm off and into the New Year!

Back Erin!

I'm on my way to the doctor's right now, but I wanted to stop in and say hello!

Your goals for 2007 look good. You CAN do it, Erin! We're cheering you on to VICTORY!

Have a great day WISH sis!

P.S. for your DD today.... Is today her audition?

Hey, Tracy. Thanks for stopping by to visit.

I stayed on track for most of the day. . .that is, until I got home from work. I have some upper GI issues, and I'm not supposed to eat in the evening before bed, but I was so hungry, I had some saltines. Now you wouldn't think saltines would be a problem, would you? But, they were, and I paid for it.

Anyway, my Healthy Living Plan is outlined below:
1. Devotions
2. Meds /Vits--not yet
3. Water--have started
4. Exercise--
5. Food log--have yesterday almost complete; I'll start today's in a couple of minutes.
6. Scale--will get on before I shower.

OK, so that's the scoop. Today I'll work to have my eating DONE by 6 p.m.
Also, I'm going to have very bland foods.

That's all!
Erin

Michelle! It's nice to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by!

Today's healthy living plan:
1. Devotions
2. Meds /Vitamins--gotta do that
3. Water--have started
4. Exercise--skipped this morning
5. Food log--will journal it all down
6. Scale--forgot to do it before breakfast. I'll weigh in tomorrow and post it.

Michelle, I think I'll stop over there at the WW thread. Weight Watchers has always been the best plan for me, but I just don't want to spend any more money at those meetings! At Christmas time I bought myself a points pedometer, points calculator, and their walking program--I just need the support of my WISH friends!

Moving on and looking up,
Erin

Here's the plan for today:

1. Devotions-- done
2. Meds /Vitamins--have yet to take
3. Water--1/8
4. Exercise--first day of TOM; think I might bag the exercise today.
5. Food--took in 24.5 points yesterday. Breakfast today was oatmeal, banana, and almonds for 7 points. Lunch will be chicken breast and brown rice, snack will be a cheese stick and an apple. Unsure about dinner right now.
6. Scale-- 200. Right now I'm 204/200/164. One more pound 'til I get my new clippie!

Moving on into the day--
Erin

Guten Tag Erin,

How are you today? I'm not sure if I spelled that right or not. When I was in 7th grade, my English teacher taught us some very basic German. I can still remember all of the numbers and the greetings, but I can't remember how to ask where the restroom is.... (That's one of the first things our French teacher taught us... She always said, "You'll never know when you need to know how to say it! )

I hope you have a great weekend!
