Daily Goals

So I think it would be great if we all set up some type of daily goals to aim towards. Something we know that we can strive for. Something that will help our diet & exercise.

My goal for August 27: Drink 100 oz of water today

What is your goal today?

My goal is to eat less and move more.
Sounds so simple, only 4 words, but so hard to do. The excercise part is easier for me than the eating less. Each day is a new day and a chance to start over.

I use a combo of apps on my phone. My Fitness Pal for tracking food & it is linked to my Fit Bit which tracks exercise (mostly steps) & total calories burned. These at least keeps me honest & reveals where I'm straying. However, like the scale, you can't get too hung up on numbers or you'll drive yourself nuts! Oh...it also tracks water consumed & Fit Bit monitors sleep patterns....which was a real eye-opener for me. Poor night's sleep usually means "grazing" the next day.

My daily goals are to move, exercise, keep using "myfitnesspal" as it saves me from over-consumption, drinking less caffeine and more water. Also sticking to fresh foods, and fresh caught seafood. The gluten free eating has been working, and non-GMO. I refuse to use any oils besides olive oil or coconut oil, and I'm organic foods. Like one of my doctors says, I can either spend that money on foods or at the doctor's office.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
