Lately I've been feeling a bit under the weather; I know this always happens to me in the winter, but I try to focus on how spring is just around the corner and that it will be warm and sunny before I know it. But there are other areas I should focus on also, and I've thought of a few goals I'd like to meet on my way to being physically and mentally healthy.
Drink 64oz of water per day
Run 4-5 days each week
Attend Body Tone once per week
Eliminate foods from my diet that don't actually benefit me (such as snacking on high-calorie foods with little nutritional benefit- candy, chips, etc)
Sleep 7-8 hours per night
Limit myself to one Diet Coke per day
Reduce the time I watch television each day to 1 hour
Increase the amount I read (for enjoyment) each day to 30 minutes
Last week I did run 4 times, I did attend Body Tone, I read 30 minutes per day for fun, and I slept 7-8 hours per night. My eating overall was alright, but there was some degree of unnecessary snacking.
Weight at high school graduation (2004): ~150 pounds
Weight at college graduation (2008): 118 pounds
Weight as of February 1: 135 pounds
This is a ridiculous amount of weight gain in a short period of time, but granted I did weigh myself after eating out of the ordinary foods at a Super Bowl party, and on this past Thursday (February 5) I weighed 131.5 pounds. The goal is to get back to 125 pounds for the wedding, with preferably more muscle tone. Fitting into my dress nicely would be a good goal :-)
