QOTW- Baby Steps!

I saw this this morning, and had a thought.......



Want to lose 30 pounds or have killer abs? Great, but remember: Every long journey starts with one step. By focusing on smaller, incremental targets unrelated to results -- say, following through on a promise to walk a little every day at lunch for a week -- you'll feel a sense of achievement early and more often. Big goals take time to reach, and focusing on them too soon may do more harm than good.

Here's my thought:

My baby step for this week is........do some exercise tonight and thursday, eat a tad better than I have since xmas, and walk the dog. :)

I aim a bit big, so I can fall back and still do good. For me, this is aiming big. LOL. At least for now.

With a hectic schedule it's tough to keep a regular routine...but at least having the thought in your head motivates you, right? Good luck with getting these things done this week!

My goal this week is to get up at least 3 times this week and go walk before work, at 5:30 AM. Keep me in your prayers, I've been really tired lately.
