My Birthday/ New Year Resolutions by Mer

Here it is. It is all complete. A birthday gift to myself. Something I want for myself next year. I know I will get there. I am working hard for it right now.   Since the beginning of the year I have lost 9 pounds.  There is no secret gimmicks or programs. I finally have figured out the issue between my ears.  It takes all my willpower and all my gumption some days to keep it up, but everyday I do it I feel REALLY, REALLY good. 
What is it you ask?
One word that I kept avoiding every I would start this weight loss journey and it is-

COMMITMENT

So I make a commitment to myself that no matter what I face during the day that  I will stick to my plan. I keep my goals close and I will track everything I eat. With this new empowerment here is where I will be next year...

 
The date is January 28, 2013 and here is what I have accomplished:

• I now weigh 135 pounds.(write down the amount you want to weigh one year from now.)
• I'm pleased with taking care of myself. I have better energy. I love the way my body looks and feels. I feel like I can accomplish anything.( include your dream outcome such as better energy, body changes, new attitude.)
• My body feels solid, strong and healthy.(use words like strong, healthy, slender, thinner, toned.)
• I'm exercising by walking, circuit training and Pilates. I work out 4-5 days a week in the morning. (list your exercise activities as well as how often you're doing them.)
• I've learned how to live 90% of the time in the weight loss and maintain column. I plan out 3 days a month where I don't track my food.  I have put in place emergency plans so that I stop eating emotionally- chew gum and two bite rule. I have found healthy ways to deal with stress, which includes talking to Mo, journal writing and exercising. Everyday I renew my goals and commitment to a healthy lifestyle. (list items such as how to stop emotional eating, cope with stress, or build motivation)
