a bit of healthy info....

Ruby Reports 10/19.11..

Since last Wednesday October 12th,

I walked 5 days with a total of 12 miles.

I didn't make my goal of 3 miles 6 days.  But,

The 12 miles over 5 days is better than my previous 3 weeks.

So, I didn't reach my goal...but, I am in forward progress.

Give yourself credit for small progresses!

I ate out, twice but, did try to eat healthy this last week.

I lost 1 pound...(but, I am still up from an initial loss

of 16 pounds in August)

Being out of town and trying to stay on a

healthy path can be difficult.  Planning menus

ahead and planning time ahead for walking

helped.

What have you done since last Wednesday

towards a healthier YOU?  Maybe just a few steps

more in your day?  Or maybe you turned down dessert

and had some fruit instead?  Or maybe you just set

some goals?

Write it down...inspire YOURSELF!

For me...keeping track of my walking

helps me to set small goals (towards the big ones).

Being able to look back on my written progress

inspires me. 

I can feel good about my progress

if the goal hasn't been reached.  I now write

the number of calories I burn each time.

This helps me to take a second thought about

eating empty calories.  I can evaluate how much time

and hard work it would take to burn off that ice cream

or order of fries.  Does this ALWAYS work?

I have to be honest.  Nope, I still eat stuff

I shouldn't.  But, writing down makes me more

aware.  I tend to "slip" less.
