Another Year Starting.....Another Year Older

As each new year shuffles in, I become a year older. I wasn't born on the 1st, but pretty close. I reflect on the things I've accomplished in the past year and look ahead to the things I want to do this year.

I've started to journalize my food intake as well as my time spent exercising. Microsoft Works has a nice program for tracking all kinds of things. I just looked at it yesterday and found these journals. Sometimes companies have so much stuff, a person doesn't bother looking at any of it.

I've got to find a new place to go walking. I tried walking the dog and had to turn around and come back home. People here, let their dogs run loose. I use to be a mail carrier and have been bit a few times so I am scared of dogs running at large.

There is a park in town I need to check out. It appears to have a walkway that extends around it. There is still lots to discover in my new town.

I've decided to eliminate snacking after 9pm for the next two weeks. (Wish I liked raw carrots) If I am successful, I plan on moving it up by a half hour after that every two weeks. When I can reach 7 pm with out snacking, I'll be happy. I'm setting realistic goals for myself. I know it is my snacking that is playing havoc with my weight loss. Remembering, each pound is a step towards success.
