This Healthy Cat

I am going to start with more this time around, not less. If I plan on more of the "right" things first, I will not feel restricted. I also think that if I include more of the "right" things, that I will start to feel better first. So, what do I mean by more... I will... ...drink more water every day. ...eat more fruits and vegetables every day. ...move more each every day. I can celebrate successes all through the day... 6:30 a.m. Had a tangerine with breakfast ... pat on the back! 7:45 a.m. Walked around the block ... high five! 9:00 a.m. Drank a glass of water ... happy dance! 11:10 a.m. Parked on the far side of the parking lot ... skip in my step! 11:15 a.m. Chose a salad over a sandwich at Urbane Cafe ... good on ya, mate! The little successes add up over time. If I do these three things starting NOW...I will begin to feel better about myself immediately. Feeling better about yourself gives you motivation and confidence. A natural consequence of these behavior...

Goal #1: Feel better about myself in all ways. Goal #2: Enjoy my life and family more. Goal #3: Do the things I want to do without feeling self-conscious. I want to be healthier. I think that is going to be key in reaching my goals. I did not mention health in my goals, but better health and increased fitness will be essential. I have been through this before. I know the basics of what I need to do to get there. The implementation is always the key difficulty. Notice that nowhere in my goals do I mention diet, weight, exercise. I will have to address those issues to reach my goals, but they are not my goals. My goals are a bit loftier and more holistic. It is time to state the facts in black and white, no longer hide any of it, be vulnerable.
