Goals

I decided that like many others I should set some weekly goals. It should help me stick to my overall healthy life goal! I have decided to set 4 goals this week.

1. Track everything I eat on SparkPeople

2. Stay under 1500 calories daily

3. Exercise at least 1 hour per day

4. Drink 80 oz of water each day

I know they are simple goals, but if I can reach each one this week, I feel like I will be one step closer to becoming healthy :)

I'm going to buy things to make Easter basket care packages for my hubs and my adopted soldier. My adopted soldier is one that I adopted from Soldier's Angels which is a great program! I won't be mailing Ray's package until next week because it doesn't take as long to get there. However I don't know where my adoptee is deployed so I want to send his early this week! Another goal of mine for today and tomorrow is to stay away from all the candy that I buy them! In my husband's package I'm gonna try to add healthier options instead of just candy though, as he has been working out daily for a couple hours a day, not that he really needs to!

I'm also a huge list making person, I like to plan....and I love lists! I also cut coupons, and scan through ads weekly...I'm trying to be more frugal while also being more eco-friendly. The two don't always go hand in hand, but that is one of my biggest goals for when I go back to my own house, save money, and be green! Are you a list maker? Do you consider yourself to be "green"?

We got a house!

Okay, we didn't buy a house or anything, but I'm very excited because we were offered base housing, and it's in the newer housing! It's not brand new, but I'll take 10 year old housing over the 1950's house we were in on base before my hubby left! It was actually quite a gross house! It's a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath, which is big enough for the 2 of us. We had a 3 bedroom last time and never used the 3rd room for anything. This one is also a two story, where the other was ranch style. I can't wait to get there and decorate, I'll be posting pictures! I have had friend that live in the housing section we will be in, and I'm excited about it. I sign the lease on April 23rd, so I will be heading to Louisiana a couple days before that! Woo Hoo...I'll miss my family in Ohio, but I can't wait for Ray to get home!

On another note, my brother is supposed to be joining the Air Force after he graduates this year. Well today after his baseball scrimmage he announces that a Marine recruiter is coming over Monday to talk about that. Eek, I'm all for any military branch, I have had family in all of them, I was just really hoping that he went for the Air Force, say what you want about them being spoiled and such...I feel he would be safer...and he is my baby brother!

Hey y'all!

So I have decided to switch my blog over to blogspot, because I find it easier to use, and since I'm just starting out...I figured it was a good idea! I guess this is officially like Day 2 for me now. Yesterday day 1 went great! My stats...not so great!!! Here they are.....

Starting Weight: 207.3 lbs

BMI: 39.2 (obese)

YUCK!!! This is my highest weight ever, also so you know I'm only 5'1! 

Now for the Goals...Here they are....

Goal Weight: 126 lbs (random I know) hehe

Goal BMI: 23.8 (healthy range) 

I can't wait to reach this goal, I know I can do it...time to get on it!

My other goals include drinking a minimum of 80 oz of water per day, and getting in 30 minutes of cardio each day!

Fridays will be my official weigh in days, starting with next Friday I will photograph each weigh in. I'm still working on reward ideas for each of my short term goal weights, which include
