Goal Check

I would love to hear how everyone is doing on this months GOALS. What have been your ups and your downs? What have you been doing to reach your goals...etc.....

My Goals were to have no Chocolate cake and exercise 3 days a week.

So far; I have not made, purchased or even tasted chocolate cake so far this month!!. I have lost two pounds, I am sure it is due to just that. ((((Clap))))!!! I have almost reached my exercise goal of 3 times of week. I do feel better, and going out walking is a lot of fun...It is just getting out the door or away from all the other projects I have. No excuses Right!!!

Well Girls, I cannot wait to hear how things are going for you....The Good, the bad, and the ugly...

We would love to have a post, or even just a comment....We hope to hear from you soon.

PS.. If you would like to add your goals for this month, just leave a comment...

Top Five Cancer Causing Foods


The Hardest Part About Exercise. . .


What is the hardest part about exercising?

Putting on your shoes.

Once your shoes are on you might as well go outside. Once you are outside, you might as well jog for five minutes. Once you jog for five, maybe you can make it for ten. Since you are only going ten minutes, you might as well give it your all. Once you give it your all, you are back home. Once you are home, you take off your shoes. And there they will remain until tomorrow when you will take on the hardest part of exercise once again:

Putting on your shoes.

So go ahead, PUT THOSE SHOES ON!
