Using this game to kick start 2015 is pretty cool.

Last year I started jogging as a way to get some cardio in.  I told myself that I should keep it up for a year even though I didn't like it.  Funny thing happened - I started to like it! Now my plan is a half marathon in April, and a full marathon in September.  2 years ago I could barely jog 1 mile, now I've run 10!

To lose the 4% by end of January is to eat:

* protein and oatmeal for breakfast

* two snacks a day that include veggies and/or serving of fruit, a protein and a carb

* lunch and a supper that has lean protein (fish or turkey), half a plate of vegetables and 1/3 cup of carbs

Eat right sized portions, limit fried foods or fast food (try for 0 but if eat once in the month, I'll try to get back on track), stay positive. 

Exercise plan: run three times per week (I have been following the sport assoc of BC's beginner's guide to half and full marathon), swim (during the time my daughter has a swim class), and a core workout (preferably one with weights and burpees!).

With this plan, I should burn more calories than I eat! Fingers crossed!
