Today's journal is in preparation for the Go Hard or Go Home Challenge which begins tomorrow. This is my personal program.
Part 1) Calories Will lower daily calories by 25. New goal 1,375. Since I've been struggling with the 1,400 limit these 25 calories are a big deal for me.
Part 2) Planning There will be pre-planned exceptions for holiday meals/parties, but 2 rules must be followed: - make the healthiest choices from foods available - the exception will be for one day only. Let me repeat that - ONE DAY ONLY! Next day right back on track. Throw out the leftovers if necessary.
Part 3) Exercise Aerobics 30 minutes/day for 5 days/week, and abs every day (yes, I said every day). Exercises will be tracked in my little red notebook.
Today I am thankful for the confidence to take 3 more baby steps.

Bren- Yes, you've got me pegged. Making small changed a few at at time works for me. Major ones just don't seem to stick.

Gigi - Thanks for your confidence. No sense doing anything half way,

Lopete - I was thinking the same thing! A head start isn't cheating.

Buffy- I think it is really smart/brave of you to declare your goals publicly- It usually works for me when I say it outloud to someone then it makes me more accountable and I actually carry through with it. You will be looking fab in your size 10's at Christmas with this plan.

Sounds like a great plan....may have to steal some of those ideas! Have a great Sunday and hope the effects of Hurricane Sandy stay far, far away from you.

Heather - Yes it is tomorrow! I found a bunch of simple ab exercises on line - no equipment required. Lots of them you can do standing (I know they work because I'm sore after). I'm working up to planks, but have trouble because my toes aren't strong enough to hold my weight - it's an old age thing. I really need an exercise ball - I see where you can plank off them. Any ideas?

Sandy - I appreciate that. It is supposed to all go north of us but yesterday afternoon DH picked up the last of any stuff on our lawn - just in case.
