Chris-Mom

Since I am completly new to blogging you will all have to help me learn how to use this. I am also very excited to start on this get healthy year with all of you. You don't need to post your food journals. Just keep track of the points or days that you fill one out. It would be great if you wanted to post tips, receipes, or any other advice that you have to help us all along. I hope that we can all be each others cheerleaders. Since we are all in different places we will all have different goals but we can still all help each other along.

An idea I read in a new diet book I bought. It says that we need to write down some affirmations to help us with our new goals. I thought of a few and will share them. You are supposed to read them at least three times a day and whenever you are struggling. You could also get on the blog and read about everyone else and how they are doing.
"I love my life and every day of it is a blessing."
"Eating fresh, wholesome food makes me look and feel great."
"I have enough time in my day to take care of my health."
"I am importnat and therefore my health is important."
You can use these or make up your own.

I love you all

This is link to a sample Food Journal that I created and printed for myself. You can use it, change it, print, use online, or whatever you'd like! As soon as you all can get onto the blog, we'll post our weight every Monday, along with an amount of points for the food journal.(It's one point a day, so 7 total each week). Mom also wants to post monthly goals, for example: For the rest of June your goal could be to lose 5 lbs. or go to the gym everyday. This step will also include an individually established reward if you reach your goal. As far as we've discussed, this won't be a competition, just a place to be held accountable to people that we know and love and celebrate the small successes. Which will hopefully be motivating enough to help us all make positive changes in our lives! If there's anything I left out, we can always modify and change, so good luck and share all of your ideas! Love you all!
