Thin Over 40 Journey

Member Wendy

My goals for the 12 weeks are to lose 20 pounds, to use the PTO and understand more about proportions of food and their individual values, to develop a consistent exercise pattern, stretch and read the book every morning and drink that water. I also want to utilize the discussion board and calendar and do as many chats as I can.

I have been praying about what my goals should be. I have been trying to do things my way for so long and not succeeded. I am really trying to seek God's will and direction.

My first goal seems to be to work very hard on the tapes that play in my head. This would include how I think and see myself, my attitude toward food, the constant comparing of myself to others, and taking on the attitudes of others (particularly my husband).

My second goal would be to blog each day during the week days. (I will try to do the week-ends but they usually are pretty crazy)

Third, I will exercise each day.

Fourth, read the message from TO40 book each day and the inspirational quotes.

Until recently I have been going to the gym at least three times a week. I want to get back to going to the gym.

The days I am not at the gym I want to do at least do stretching and walk a mile.

Make sure I get plenty of water each day and consistently take supplements.

Keep my weight where it is at currently, but continue to work on belly. Need to reduce waist size.
