Starting Small. September 28, 2008
Alright, so maybe I’m not really starting small, or I wouldn’t be here at all. But, I am going to start tackling the beastly number on the scale one step at a time. In my head I have a list of a million things that I should do to lose weight. In reality, I’m never going to succeed if I try to take on the whole mountain at once. SO, for this week, easy goals.
1. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Keep me hydrated and burning calories! Between that much water and the fountain next to my desk, I figure I’ll be making enough pee breaks to burn atleast 100 calories.
2. Make and stick to a meal plan. And “I’ll figure it out when I get there” doesn’t count as a plan.
3. Wake up 15 minutes earlier and do a floor workout. ( My evil secret plan is to continue to slowly wake up earlier and earlier until I’m waking up early enough to get in a full workout. But, I’m trying to trick myself into it so shh, don’t tell me.)
4. Track my calories in the daily plate.
5. Walk Lucy for atleast 20 minutes each day.
So, that’s it. 5 goals this week. Relatively easy, concrete, and totally measurable.
Anyways, there’s much more to say, but I have a bed frame to assemble. (I’ve gotten tired of the borderline homeless feeling of a mattress on the floor)

LOL! Have you been watching me???
