Health Blog

I am creating this blog to write down my health goals and sucesses so that my personal trainer friend (Yellie) can keep tabs on my progress.
I have found that if I have no accountability for being healthy, it's hard to eat well and exercise.
We'll see if this helps!

First Two Days

I am starting to make mini daily goals so that I can stay focused on living a healthier lifestyle.  These mini goals are good because I set them first thing in the morning and I don't have to keep a million "rules" in my head, just a couple of things.

Day One:   Goals:
-no sugar (accomplished!)
-don't eat out (accomplished!)
-break a sweat once in the day (worked for  20 minutes with free weights, leg lifts and   3 sets of Pilates 100s) (also rode my bike to school and back)

 Day Two: Goals:
 -no caffeine (accomplished!)
-limit sugar (accomplished!)
-25 pushups, 3 sets of Pilates 100s, 25 squats (accomplished!!) (also rode my bike to school and back)

I know that these goals aren't necessarily huge ones, but I wanted to start a habit of doing at least a little bit of exercise in the day, even if my schedule is crazy busy (like it is now with school, studying for midterms, babysitting, etc...)

    Shannon,
    this is wonderful so far! keep it up. and remember the movie "what about bob"...baby steps; take enough of them and all of a sudden your really getting places. so keep doing what your doing and it will pay off. especially incorporating it into your everyday life,that's how it sticks and success will be long term ;)
