Goals- I want to streak!

I was reading The Spark book today. Just the little trial - look inside this book thing that Amazon has. Trying to decide if I should buy it for my kindle or not.

I was really touched by Chris Downie's story. How he just started off small and did it every day and began this streak. And when his co-worker put that 1 on her door, I just cried.

I want that.

Since I have started my goal was always to keep in mind that it was not the destination but the journey. I love the quote that says if you trip and fall down a stair you don't just throw yourself down the rest!

It is just like it is ok to make little mistakes. I am not perfect. But each day I can do something. Even something small. That is the key to building my inner strength and confidence.

New Years eve what a perfect day to reflect and renew. I am setting goals today!

********
My #1 goal above all else is to set in motion my streak! Every single day, come rain or shine, nothing will stand in my way, I will work out.

Even if it is just playing the Wii for 10-20 mins. I will do it.

I have a dry erase board and I will mark my streak on it! Giving myself more motivation everytime I see it.

I am also starting off with 3 days a week of real pushing myself working out. Tuesday, Friday, Sunday. I think Tuesday & Friday will be cardio and Sunday more strength.

******
Goal #2 is to track my calories. I need to be aware of what I am eating. Everyday track everything I eat.

Spark told me to eat between 1210 and 1560 calories per day.

I am giving up pop. I only drink diet now. But I know it is not good for me & gets in the way of me getting enough water. I felt so much better before when I gave it up. So after I finish off what I have then no more! Except let me be clear I may still drink diet when I got out to dinner which is not often. But not drinking it daily or even monthly- yay me.



I feel really really good. Very empowered right now :) I can do this.


On a related note... my husband is also trying to lose weight & get healthy. I am really happy and feel good that we can help each other and over a push/support. And zero junk food in the house yay. Plus he even said he would eat wheat bread omg- miracle lol. Not having to buy two types of bread and pasta lol

I am gonna try to get him walking with me on his day off. He said next thursday we could go to the park near our house and take a walk so yay.

But at the same time it scares me. I have all that ugly jealous in me. Like what if he does way better then me? How silly huh? bleh
