Re: Commit to Get Fit... October
Hi all - Jennifer 'Newbie' here!
Quick before I post my goals, a little background on my current situation - I'm due for surgery on October 20th for an ongoing problem (I have pseudo tumor cerebri, and a shunt in my spine) - so I'm living with mind-blowing headaches at the moment. Take a migraine and raise it to the power of 100 ... and you're getting close ... LOL
Anyway, I didn't want to delay my healthy lifestyle changes any longer, upcoming surgery or not. I can't exactly rely on 'getting better' - I mean I hope I do, but I've already had 6 operations in the last two years! So NOW is the time. No matter what. I just may need to take it a little easier than I'd like, until I recover from my op. My headaches should be better afterward, too!
So with that in mind, here are my (mild) goals for October ...
1) eat a healthy breakfast every day
2) drink my water
3) NOT GIVE UP despite feeling unwell
4) make better food choices
5) try to do some gentle physical activity three times a week, like treadmill walking or once around the block, etc. This is a big improvement from my constant resting due to the headaches - I just need to move, at least a little, a few times. Pain allowing.
6) I don't know how much I can manage to lose this month, especially with a 5 (or so) day hospital stay. I'd LOVE to say ten pounds! But I know that's not realistic. So I'll say 7 - because that would take me to 230, or ten total pounds lost since starting. I'll shoot for 7, but be very happy with 5.
Good luck everyone - and thanks for letting me jump aboard! I look forward to getting to know you all.
