A,B,C it's easy as 1, 2, 3 (or not)

I think we have all heard it time and time again... eat whole wheat, choose whole grains, basically cut out the "white" starches from our diets but for some reason it's easier said than done! For something I know I definitely feel like I forget to put it to good use. This week I'm going carb conscious... no, no, don't freak, I'm not going crazy and hopping on the Atkins bandwagon but I'm making a goal and sticking to it! My "mini" goal for the week is simple, WHEAT over WHITE.

It's time to get MOVING

It's time to set another weekly "mini" goal. Last night in the meeting we talked about daily activity and how it's important to get MOVING to get the weight off. So with that being said this week I am setting my "mini" goal to take the stairs whenever possible. I know this sounds kind of ridiculous but seriously living in NYC it's amazing how often you find yourself in an elevator. Even to get inside your own "home" you take an elevator! Lucky for me I live on the 3rd floor (sweet) so this should be an easy week to succeed at yet another "mini" goal!

Weekly Goals

I'm trying to set "mini" goals each week to help keep myself motivated throughout this process. Last week I focused on changing over from coffee w/ milk which equals points to drinking black coffee which is ZERO points. I'm happy to report that it was a success! I walked right past those milk pitchers in the caf at work each morning while repeating to myself, don't you DARE waste points on milk of ALL things, and it worked! Honestly I have not missed it and have been enjoying my zero point black coffee daily.

This week my focus is getting all of my daily water in. WW recommends that you drink 6 glasses (48 oz) of water per day but I have aimed a bit higher. I have set this weeks "mini" goal to drink 2 liters (67.6 oz) of water per day! So far so good except for the looks I'm getting from my co-workers when I leave my desk 8 times a day but they'll have to get over it!
