How are we doing?

Hey guys!

How are you doing on this fine Tuesday afternoon?  I just wanted to take today to see how everyone was doing? 

If you have been following me and have attempted some of my suggestions what do you think?  Are some of them working for you?  While we are technically in the same shell, our insides are very different one another.  Something that may work me in losing a few pounds or inches may not work for you.  It really is all about experimenting.

I really do believe that by eating better and exercising more, you will lead a happier and more healthier lifestyle.  It is not about the number on the scale or the size of your pants, it's how you feel about yourself on the inside.  That will always an forever reflect your confidence on the outside.

For me personally, I think the next step is going to be writing everything that I consume down.  This will allow me to really watch what I eat and maybe swap some of those chocolaty treats for some healthier snacks.  My goal when I started this blog was to lose weight.  I am on the right track, but after the holidays I will need to kick it up a notch.

I still think I will be able to attain my goal of 5lbs next week, but then I may just try to keep it there until January comes.  With Christmas right around the corner it will be tricky.  I think if I can maintain my short term goal weight I will be happy.  But who knows! Maybe I will go for a few more lbs.  That would be something to follow for sure!

I know for a fact that I could be drinking more water, green tea and exercising a little it more.  While I walk a lot and do zumba, I am not on a routine with toning up.  Starting on Thursday, I intend to do the ab & butt/leg work out 3 times before December 12th (the goal weigh in day).  I am also going to have to pull out all of the stops! (Like freezing the cookies I baked last week instead of eating them).

So for tonight, eat lots of fruits & vegetables, drink lots of water and have an extra cup of tea, this will help flush out a few more calories before tomorrow's weigh in.

Good luck and I will see you tomorrow with hopefully a new number on the scale!
