I am shaking things up. Literally. I am holding myself accountable for accomplishing the things I want to accomplish this year. I have lots of things that I want to do but I am going to really hone in on my health and fitness goals. I am going to set some realistic goals. Sometimes we set such lofty goals that it can be hard to achieve them. Therefore I am setting small goals one month at a time. I am going to be writing about it because if I tell the world I am going to do it, I will look pretty bad if I don’t right?
January goal: Lose 15 pounds. To achieve my goal I plan to go the following:
1. The 30 day green smoothie challenge from Simple Green Smoothies (thanks @Eclectically_Me for telling me about this) The challenge is from 1/2-1/31, although I started this morning. I made the Vitamin C Immunity Booster Smoothie and it was tres magnifique!
Here is the recipe if you would like to try it:
2 cups spinach, raw
3/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup water
1 banana
1/4 cup carrots
2 cups strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries

4. I am eating better. NO MATTER WHAT.
I know how to eat but sometimes I get lazy and want something quick. In addition, because I am an auditor I drive all around and many times I work so long and forget to eat and then I get so hungry that I stop at McDonald’s or anywhere I SHOULDN’T eat.
Here is what I ate today:
6. I am going to get all my water in and track it using the ‘Water Your Body’ app.
So far I have drank 50.7 of my recommended 85oz.
Okay. That is enough for today. What are your goals? Post your comments here or on the Facebook page. I love you all so much for your support. Let’s make 2013 a FANTASTIC year.
Be Blessed!
