Day 1 - Jan 02, 2008

Hello Everyone, every year I make a decision to lose weight... OK OK I know you are all laughing now... My mother even had the same reaction today when she asked me what my New Years Resolution was... But this time I made a commitment to make my resolution a reality.. It will take a lot of work and a lot of personal choices that I will have to make in some difficult situations.. Honestly I think I can write on book on weight loss as I have read everything out there on how to achieve a healthy lifestyle... so with that said.. here goes:

I LIZ GARCIA, commit to starting my weight loss program on 1/2/08. I believe I can accept and complete my challenge to the best of my ability. I realize this is work, and accept the self care price i must pay to achieve my mental and physical transformation.
I commit to keeping a daily journal that tracks my progress and forgives my slip ups.
I will expect and adapt to adversity and see tough times as learning opportunities.
I will strive to take action and not to whine or moan or complain.
I will be self-assertive and fight for the right to take care of myself.
I will acknowledge and reward myself for my achievements along the way.....

So that is my commitment.

The reason for my Blog is to hold me accountable. A place for my family and friends can see that this time I am committed to a healthier life. A place where you can share ideas, recipes, support, whatever you feel like writing...

My plan is to post if not everyday then every other day... To explain my thoughts, what I experience, and what I ate.. so that I keep my commitment to this being my year !!!

I look forward to your comments and your support. . Thanks again... and in 365 days, there will be a new ME !!!

Cuz,
Good luck with your resolution!!!!
Happy New Year. I need to make the same resolution myself. I have been using my arm injury as an excuse not to exercise. As my surgeon said" you have a lot more to work out then that arm".
I have the BIG 50 coming a lot quicker then I would like, and I would have liked to have been at my best.
So you have my support 200%. We can meet in Marco and show off our "bikini bodies" (haha)

Keep me posted!!!!
love your cuz kathleen
