New Lean for Life Start

Here I go again. I've done this WOE before and liked how I felt and the success that I had. Unfortunately, I didn't think of it as a WOL! I now have the mindset and plan to reach my goal.

Why today? Why now? I have set goals so many times, and I could've reached ALL of them had I changed my mindset. This time, I'm planning to succeed with the following goals in mind: Get off blood pressure meds, feel good, fight the aging processes that I see coming in my parents, feel comfortable in my clothes, and take part in life instead of being a spectator.

What has spurred me into action was the fact that I just got back from a week in Hawaii. Great trip!! I'm going back in February 2009. I'd like to feel comfortable on the beach and in the water. I'd like to be able to be active without being winded. I want to be proud of myself vs. embarrassed (knowing how things could be). I feel that February 2009 gives me a realistic time frame for me to plan to do my best and give it my all.

Will I have moments? Sure. My plan this time is to not sweat it and get right back on my plan. I intend to DO the book... all of it. I've already got the LFL maintenance book.... I intend to earn it's use!!

Today was my first protein day. I had no problem and feel good. Did not wear my pedometer... did walk the dog. Did not complete the daily book entry.... will begin that, here, tomorrow!
