Great news! I have lost 8 pounds this month! Yippee! I think all the walking is making a big difference.
Here is a recap of the lifestyle changes I have made so far:
1. Take 10,000 steps per day
2. Sleep 7-8 hours per night
3. Eat the same breakfast everyday
4. Follow the Weight Watchers eating plan
5. Floss every day
Lifestyle changes I will make this week:
Dr. Oz reccomends you find ways to excercise outside of your regular excerise plan. For example you should park in the spot furthest from the store and walk those extra steps. This translates for me into going up the stairs in my house to put things away rather than putting the kids' things into a basket to bring up all at once. This additional activity could really add to my steps as my kids have lots of stuff!!
The truth and reality of it all:
I have done well this past month overall but I do find it difficult to keep up with all the changes everyday. I may do great on 2 or 3 changes and then fall off the wagon on some others. I think I would do better if we didn't have weekends!
What I know for sure:
I do not want to wait until my kids are grown and gone to pay attention to myself and my needs. I am more than just a care taker of others. There is no reason why my time can't be right now. :)
