2009 - aspire!

Took me long enough to set up my 2009 'resolutions' but here's the plan of attack for me.
Share your thoughts for 2009 (or anytime!) in the comments section!

Things I'm doing differently:
1. Exercise every 2nd day. (v-sit, plank, squats, yoga stretches).
2. Run 3-5km 3 times a week and average 10,000 steps per day.
(I track my steps on a pedometer - but it should work out to about 1 hour of brisk walking for most people).
3. Tracking my meals - breakfast, early snack, lunch, afternoon snack, supper.
4. Tracking my water intake. Trying to get 8-10 glasses per day.
(I also count herbal tea towards my water intake).
5. Making healthy choices for snacks, and avoiding boredom and binge eating.
6. Remembering to take vitamin supplements every day.

**I find that writing down what I'm doing helps me keep better control of it.
So even though I did have a cinnamon bun and a small coffee yesterday I don't feel guilty or out of line because I wrote it down and I'll make healthy choices for the rest of the week.

Give it a try for a couple of weeks and perhaps you'll see a difference.
