New Beginnings!!

Well it is January 3rd and 2 days before my 31st birthday! It is time to think about the past year and the goals I set and the goals that I met for 2011.  I had many accomplishments with my Juice Plus Franchise and with my family and friends I had an absolutely wonderful year!! I am very blessed for what God has given me and look forward to 2012 and what it brings! I know that I am going to have to work hard and I am willing to do that in order to meet my goals for 2012!
As I look back at the past year..... there is one place for sure that sticks out that I did not accomplish what I thought that I would ..... and that would be in the category of .... you know it......WEIGHT LOSS!!! This is something that haunts me over and over every year as a New Years Resolution! Thank God for "New Beginnings"  For 2012 I am setting the goal for myself to be healthier! And I know for me that includes losing some weight! So I am going to need some help from my family and friends to help me accomplish this!! I had talked about doing an accountablility call weekly on a free conference line and just share what is working and not working for anyone who has also made this decision to get healthier! Or any other ideas will be appreciated! I will be blogging again every week for accountablity also! Let me know if you want to be a part of that!
So I know that making changes starts with a decision and I have already done that! The next step would be to decide how I am going to do it! I asked for a BodyMedia Armband for Christmas and received one and just got it set up today! It is something that I will be wearing everyday that will record the number of calories that I burn and how many I take in! (similiar to what they wear on the Biggest Loser) After playing around with it today.... I am VERY excited to start this journey! It will also share my progress with the App that goes with it on FaceBook! I put in all of my goals today and it said that with following the program, I should be at my goal weight by the middle of October! 10 Months!!! I can do this!
I know that with any goal you also have to tie into it the reason you are doing it! So here goes....

MY WHY FOR A HEALTHIER WEIGHT:
1.Overall better health!!
2. Not embarrassed of how I look.
3. Just to Feel better!
4. Do more things! From Just playing with the kids to skydiving!
5. Walk the walk... not just talk the talk with my JP+ Franchise
6. Reduce my risk of all diseases!!
7. Be here for my kids! Never want my kids to go through losing a parent at a young age like I experienced.
8. Taking part in triathalons and 5k's again!
9. So I can go shopping and enjoy it again!
10. Being nutritionally and physically fit!!

Ok....so there it is! Next week I will share my progress for this week! Please let me know if you want to be accountablity partners in my journey!
