To start, I have given up soda. I did this last year for about 45 days straight I believe. I was very proud of myself and continued to only drink it off and on throughout the following months. However, since about late October, I fell back into the habit of drinking soda quite often. In order to make myself feel better, I decided kicking soda to the curb would be first on my agenda! I started on January 1st and still no soda! :)
Next on my list is being aware of how much I am eating and of what I am eating. I want to be aware of what I am putting into my body. I also want my body to be physically well-rested and also fit. I plan on starting small. To become more rested, I will try to get at least 6 hours of sleep at night. One day this number will hopefully be 8. I also plan on getting more steps in. This can easily be done by parking farther away from the front of the store, or by getting up during commercial breaks and walking around the house. I have always found that if I start small, I can easily handle what I have set my mind to. I can always build up from there. TIP: Do not give yourself more than you can handle. It may seem like a good idea, but at some point it may become overwhelming or disappointing if you don't reach your desired results right away. Wearing a fitbit or a step counter can really help you become more aware of how much you are actually moving throughout the day. On a day that I work, I average about 10,000 to 11,000 steps. On my days off, that number drops to about 2,000 to 3,000 steps. That is a significant difference so I am going to try and take walks more often on my days off. I always like checking my fitness devices and logging my progress ( though more than 70% of the time, I forget to log it). I hope that whatever fitness and health goals you have contemplated and/or are working towards, will benefit your lifestyle and keep you healthy and young! Have a safe, healthy, fun, and happy 2018!! Cheers! Bethany
