My Goal, My Plan, and My Challenges

MY GOAL

My goal in Battle #9 is to lose 5 pounds: 5 solid, stay-off pounds.


MY PLAN

My plan is to follow the SparkPeople guidelines.

I. Nutrition

Log everything I eat.
Eat within my calorie range.
Eat 3 to 5 fruits and vegetables a day.
Drink 8 glasses of water a day.

II. Lifestyle
Get eight hours of sleep a day.
Give and get support from my team.

III. Exercise

Complete at least one QFC a day.
Walk 30 minutes a day.

MY CHALLENGES
Eat breakfast every morning.
Go to bed before midnight.
Decide where and when I will walk and/or exercise.
Get up early to walk before it gets hot. (Daytime highs here are in the upper 90's. I don't do heat.)

I'm off to a very slow start in this battle. I guess I was assigned to the rear echelon of the Warriors. I trust myself and know I will finish strong.

Each day this week, I've let circumstances dictate my life. I have been reactive instead of proactive. Writing this blog has helped me see that, as well as the amount of stress I've been putting on myself. I can see more clearly what my mission is in this Battle.

Go Warriors Go!
