I’ll tell you what I want - what I really, really want!

Ok, here it is: my life, my hopes, my dreams.  Mentally, I want to be a fun happy person.  I don’t want to let life stress me out.  Physically, I want to be fit.  Not muscly, but in good shape and comfortable in my clothes (that includes in a bikini).  So here’s what I’m going to do about it.

First, I am going to make the most of my free time, especially the evenings.  I’m going to set aside two evenings a week to exercise.  I already hike every Friday morning with a friend and will also exercise at least once on the weekends (usually we do this as a family anyway).  I’m no longer going to worry that my tummy is not flat - hey, I’ve got great legs!

I am going to be honest about any junk food I eat and make a serious effort to replace these with fruit and veg -I DEFINITELY don’t eat enough fruit and veg!  I know my bad time of the day is around 4 or 5 in the afternoon - so I will have lots of fruit and a large glass of water at 4 o’clock every day.

I’m going back to my yoga class which will helps me relax.  I’m going to listen to my relaxation CD before bedtime every evening instead of watching junk on tv.  I’m going to, somehow, find a way to stop stressing about my kids lives - haven’t figured that one out yet.  And I am going to adopt a new vision of myself as a gorgeous sexy woman who is interesting and funny. 

 I’ll let you know how it goes!

    They say that the first step is to really pin down the things that bother you. You have taken it even a step further and recognized the ways to change. You are def. on the right track. You can do it!!

    It sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into this. Well done! Little changes can add up to a LOT of happiness. :)

    Stressing about your kids lives… this is a hard one eh? Stress and worry can cause more health issues than anything else I know of. Remember, worry does not empty tomorrow of its troubles… it empties today of its strength.

    Wishing you well on your journey and I look forward to reading about your success!

    Hugs,

    This is a wonderful plan you have here! Stick to it and you will succeed. You may want to print it and display it somewhere where you will be constantly reminded of your goal(s) & plan of action!! I’m rooting for you!
