Attempting to Stay Healthy

My Action Plan:
Exercise
1.    I will begin using the Treadmill every other day for twenty minutes.
2.    On off days, I will use the Wii, using the exercise portions for twenty minutes.
3.    My husband and I will bowl, golf, etc at least once a week, using the Wii.

Diet: 
1.    I will begin following the plan in Cook Yourself Thin, as seen on Lifetime television.  It is a gentle reminder of how to eat well, not by starving yourself.
2.    I will substitute high fat items with low fat, such as cheeses, cottage cheese, etc.  I will limit my intake of red meat (Alas, I MUST do this!).  I will stop eating the extra fat from meats.
3.    I will weigh myself once weekly, but use the fit of my clothes as a better indicator of how my weight is doing.

Notice, I didn’t say anything about taking my blood sugars daily…that can come next.  To help me remember the steps I have chosen to take, I will make a chart which I will hang all over the house..  This will help to keep me accountable.

One last thing:  I am a firm believer in positive affirmation.  I will display the following affirmation on the bathroom mirror and the refrigerator:

“I love and care for my body, and it cares for me.”

Subsequent ones will be:

“I have the power to control my health and wellness.” And 
”My mind is at peace.  I am filled with energy to do all the daily activities of my life.”

My best wishes to all my readers.  Hopefully, you can relate to some part of my life and glean some little piece of information and/or encouragement from it.
