It has been twenty-one days since I gave up pop and I have lost six pounds! I lost six pounds without changing anything else in my diet. Now, I will be honest I went to the movies with my cousin last night and out of habit I ordered a pop. It tasted awful. All I could taste was the syrup. I only took a few sips and I was done. I had no desire to drink it. This told me that I have the pop thing under control and it is time to move on to the next change.
As I was thinking about my next goal I had to remind myself, and I will remind you too, that it is not about going on a strict diet. It is about learning new good habits, and getting rid of old bad habits. I will be focusing on two goals for the next couple of weeks. Goal 1 is to eat at least one serving of vegetables a day. Now you might be thinking, hold the phone you need a lot more than that. Well, I never eat vegetables so this is a good starting point for me (remember baby steps towards life long habits). My second goal is to workout at least one day this week. I was up to exercising five days a week, but I got out of the habit and since school started, I haven't been exercising at all.
What are your small goals for the week? By setting small goals you set yourself up for success, which will motivate you to keep going. Rather than setting huge goals that you know you will fail on.
Have a great week and take care of yourself!

veggies are so good! I usually eat about three servings a day. I have a salad w/ dinner almost every night. That's the best way to get your veggies in. a good salad with artichoke hearts and tomatoes and cucumbers. mmm good.
