I did not make my goal for Round 1, but I am *determined* to make my goal for Round 2. In order to get different results this month, I need to incorporate different BEHAVIORS. I will make a spreadsheet or checklist of this goals to fill out each day...
Here is a list of the actions steps I will take to reach my goal by Jan 5th 2014 (next weigh in):
--Drink 64 oz (8c) of water every day this month.
--Count and log my calories every day on MyFitness Pal, staying within a range of 1500 (non exercise days) to 1700 (exercise days).
--NO snacking after dinner; post my "kitchen closed" message on DB after my last evening meal, and honor that.
--Drink herb tea, or go to bed early, to avoid night time eating.
--If I have a holiday food party, or restaurant date, drink smoothies the rest of the day; estimate cals as accurately as possible, and limit myself to *one small plate* or other light eating at the event.
--Weigh in dailiy or regularly, and track here on DB.
--Do *some* type of exercise each day for 30 minutes: can be as gentle or as strenuous as my body needs: walking, pilates, yoga, weights at home, etc.
--In addition, do specific exercises (foam roller, leg lifts, etc) each day (or 3x week) to REHAB and strengthen my knee.
