Feeling Healthy for Spring!

Lets see...Over the past two days I haven't been exercising that much- shopping at LL Bean and house cleaning. Thought the shopping wasn't that vigorous the cleaning wasn't too bad. I could have brought it up a notch and will next time. I have been eating more soup, I think to off set the cheese because we have so much in the fridge and I can't bring myself to waste it. Yesturday, we ate at Pannera (soup and sand) at work I had cashew spinach and soup. Then I had a beer when I got home. So far today I've had coffee, soup, cheese and crackers. It's not really the best of diets but I have stopped eating when I'm not hungry (seems simple but always hard for me) and said no to sweets for the most part. At work I've been ordering veggies or salads instead of real meals with lots of carbs. I haven't been eating as much bread but this is partly due to not having it in the house. I have kept to two cups of coffee a day and water has been replacing it most of the time. I have made lots of little changes which are a step in the right direction but aren't helping me lose weight in the short term. I think it is time for me to renew and revise my goals. So here goes:

New Goals (3/23/07)
* Keep increasing the amout of fruit and veggie in my diet
* Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day
* Work out a minimum of 4 times a week (heart rate must be raised for at least 20 min)
* Stop having a beer after work (a fattening recent development after the party)
* Keep the fire high during the contest (I can always relax in June)

Excellent refocusing of goals! If you need some help raising that heartrate for 20 mins call your sister so that she has an excuse to get some exercise in too =0)
