2010. Twelve months to makea healthy lifestyle stick

Happy 2010 everyone.

I am approaching 2010 as it is 12 months in which I will continue to incorporate these changes into my life so I can continue in my healthy journey.

This journey officially started last year, although I will admit I lost my focus for over half of the year. I let other things get in my way, my desire to be with my friends, my want to just disappear amongst the crowd. 2010 is a whole new year and a whole new me. I did indulge a little last night at my friends house. I had some Miller 64's, much better choice then what I used to drink. And yes I did snack a little, but I also snacked on dips that I had made with greek yogurt and low fat yogurt. So while they weren't the best of choices they were the best of my options. And I kept drinking my water.

That brings me to today. I'm am just under seven weeks away from my trip to Daytona Beach Bike Week. I have goals of being able to be in cute tops on this trip and be proud to be showing off the muscles that will be showing in my arms by then. Now I know this is possible, and why do I know this? Because over a year ago I was in size 18 jeans and larger. Now what size was I in last night? Size 8!!!! Size 8! I never ever imagined I would be in jeans those small. Will I be in 6's in seven weeks? Probably not, but maybe I will be in ten weeks. I am going to keep pushing and pushing to achieve these goals.

What will I be doing over these next seven weeks to ensure that I see changes for my trip?
- Working out six days a week, with Friday's being my rest day.
- Working out to Chalene Extreme those six days and incorporating Turbo Jam, Rev Abs, and Slim in 6.
- Drinking water and only water with my meals. No soda, no tea, no beer.
- Taking my supplements daily.
- Having Shakeology every day.
- Continue to wear my GoWear Fit (similar to Body Bugg) every day. Only taking it off for showers.
-Track my calories every day. Everything I put in my mouth I will account for
- Allowing myself 1 cheat meal a week, not a cheat day a cheat meal. And I will not over indulge in that.
- I will not commit to completely eliminating alcohol from my diet at this time, but I will commit to only drinking 64's. I will eliminate shots, and hard alcohol from my diet. And I will limit myself to only Friday's and Saturday for the drinking at all. And if I chose to drink I am adding half an hour to my cardio workout.

I am sure I will be adding to these goals, but here is a start of what I will be doing over the next seven weeks to get closer to achieving my goals.
