Lifestyle Change – Day 30 – Weight Loss Deadline

Those of you who’ve been following my Lifestyle Change posts this month know I set a goal for myself to lose 12 lbs. by today, September 30th.

I’m sad to report, I didn’t make my weight loss goal.

I’m disappointed, but as I’ve mentioned in previous posts on this topic, I’ve been successful in other ways.

I hardly eat any obvious sugars.

I eat healthy snacks AND

I’m not overeating.

These changes are a HUGE improvement for me.  I’ve been a major sugar freak for years and now, with eating the right foods, I still don’t crave it like I used to.

Now I’m going to work on adding exercise to my daily routine, whether it’s only 10 minutes or 30 minutes.

SOME exercise is better than NO exercise.

I used to be so good about exercising several times a week.  I belonged to a gym during my college years and the years my husband and I lived in Alaska.

But in recent years, I’ve gotten lazy.  With having a family and working full time, it’s easy to put yourself last.

Especially your health.

So here I go into the month of October.  My goal is to exercise more.  I don’t have any weight loss deadlines.  Those are stupid and never work.

Wish me luck.

LESSON LEARNED:  A small success is better than no success.
