August Health Goals

Normally, I don't like to share anything about weight loss or heath or things of that sort, because well... I'm not always the happiest with how I look or the fact that I rarely stick to these things. However, I'm 21 years old and I do not want to be unhealthy my whole life. July was difficult, I was at camp for two weeks eating that food... and I spent last week in Columbus eating out for every meal... which is horrible for my body and for my wallet. So, here I am posting these goals online... starting today, because it's Monday and I seem to do best when I start at the beginning of the week. I feel like posting them online will sort of hold me accountable. So here are some things I am going to do differently this month:

1. Drink Water

I will admit, I love soda even though it is terribly unhealthy. Well, I'm cutting it out.

No more soda for me. Water is all I'll be drinking this month, other than my morning

coffee... of course :) 

2. Eat Cleaner

More fruits and veggies, less oatmeal creme pies. (goodness this is embarrassing)

Also going to be cooking meals with less fat. Maybe it will help my whole family. 

Also, no eating out. 

3. Exercise

This should be simple, but it's not. I'm going to try and workout 4 days a week to start.

Eventually move up to 5 or 6 days. Also, I need to try to understand that I'm not going

to be able to do everything I want right away... I have to build up to goals.

4. Much less Dunkin and Starbucks

This will be difficult. Now that my favorite Dunkin is re-opened, it's almost a natural response

to stop and get a coffee when I leave the house.

5. Go to Bed Earlier/Wake Up Earlier

I'm heading back to school in just three short weeks and two days of the week, 

I will have a morning class. 

If I am sleep deprived, my skips will be used up too quickly. Can't 

afford for that to happen. I need to start this habit now.

 Bed at 11... awake by 8.

Well that's all I can think of for now! However I think five goals is pretty good. If you read this, feel free to ask me how it's going! Also, if you have any advice/tips, please share! I need people to help me out with this! God Bless!
