Goal #1

Goal #1 is simple, drink the correct amount of water for your body a day and make sure to always have a full glass of water before dinner. The full glass before dinner helps to fill your stomach and makes you feel full sooner.

This one was a no brainier for me, I always try to drink the right amount of water per day. However I hate going to the restroom. I was one of those kids who would hold it all day because I was too busy playing outside to bother stooping to go to the restroom. I am still that way to a point. I really hate using the restroom I have better things to do than take a brake for something so unexciting.

The purpose of the goals it to make them habits. I am well on my way to this habit!

Just the beginning

I woke up one day and realized that I was at a very important fork in the road. Some may disagree about the importance of this fork but to me I had a very important decision to make. One path led me to a department store buying more clothes but in a bigger size. Just the thought of this made me want to cut up all my credit cards or freeze them in giant blocks of ice! The other path was going to be a much harder path for me. One could say it was "The one less traveled". This path was the path of life changes, of decisions I would have to make and stick too in order to avoid path number one.

For this task I needed help. I knew immediately who to turn to, My big sister Shiloh. I had seen her make life changing decisions after having her kids and come out looking like "One Hot Mama" I wasn't sure if I wanted hot mama status or just something comparable. (I love you Shi)

I called Shiloh and she started me off with weekly goals. Weigh in's once a week and Measurements once a month. Oh yes this I could handle. I got off the phone with her and had the desire to change and the ammunition to do it!
