Water intake
It has been 6 days since my last post and my baby step goal was to drink my water and monitor the intake… well I failed miserably, losing focus almost immediately after the post…
So today I start something simple… something that will hopefully keep my focus and let me achive this step… I am using a product that is from a web design client of mine (disclaimer that I have a business relationship with this site and product).. that product is found at www.positivereminder.com
As the site says..
Sometimes, the simplest things are all that are needed to make life changes. So often, what we know we need to focus on is lost in the turmoil of life. We need something to simply remind us to keep focused on whatever it is we have set as a priority or goal in life.
A very simple way to remind yourself to stay positive, but also to stay focused on the goal… I have atached apositive reminder to my water bottle on my desk and will attach more to my other water bottles…
Check out the www.positivereminder.com site, buy some positive reminders and use them to help you achieve your goals.

So.. I have been toying with the thought that I have to just say “that’s it” and not wait for some major motivation that has been absent for so long… not wait to find the right thing or person that will trigger me to lose weight and get healthy… I have to quit waiting for myself to have this inner spark… I have just accept that I have to do this and do my best to do what I can to work toward my goals.
That being said I am going to work on just one health related task right now… I am going back to my ‘6 Changes’ (see those posts HERE and HERE) system and working on my first goal.. water intake.
I have posted about water intake and how to increase it (HERE) and in general I drink more water each day than I ever did before that post… but it is hit and miss and I drink too many diet, caffine free sodas right now… so it is back to the measured trick that I used in that post. Tonight I will be marking a couple of water bottles and starting again.
Tomorrow I will be hydrated… and I will continue to be hydrated every day… in one week I will look at the next area to work on.. Impulse Control
So those of you that are members of Richard Simmons Website know that he is helping us do a 30 day challenge in the month of April… no I will admit, I didn’t start mine until yesterday (4/6/09) so mine will go a little into May. The idea is that we each set goals to improve ourselves for the next 30 days.
I though about what my goal should be quite a bit… and I came up with one theme for them all.. “Back to Basics”… and that made me cringe because that was the term way overused by supervisors at my former employer… every time I heard it I just though “come on.. be a little more creative”.. and now here I am using it in my own life… great 😉
So with that in mind I started to set my 30 day goals (let’s take them one at a time): Continue reading
