Welcome!
I feel a little silly starting a whole new community for this, but I'm struggling to get back on track with my health and fitness goals, and I really need the accountability of having somewhere to post daily (or, heck, every hour or two, some days!) about whether I'm keeping up with my good habits. And while I know I could use my own LJ for that, I find that I never do, that something keeps me from feeling comfortable with posting either my successes or my failures in this area.
My goals:
My weight goal is to get back down to 155 (the weight at which my body seems to be quite happy -- I'm 175 right now, and I'm not at ease in my own skin). My other health goals are: to be fit and strong and full of energy, to be calm and centered, to have excellent cholesterol and blood sugar levels, excellent circulation, and to be in generally excellent health.
My intentions are:
to eat 4 healthy meals a day
to exercise 5 times a week
to do a little tai chi every day (I'm still learning the beginning routine, so doing 10 or 15 minutes a day is enough to hold the space and keep making progress)
to meditate daily
to keep up with necessary medical checkups
to drink plenty of water
to drink 3 cups of green tea daily, ideally as part of my daily moments of silence and chi kung meditation
to say grace before dinner, as a way of being mindful of the act of nourishing my body, and the Source of that nourishment
Feel free to hang around just to provide me with accountability, or to join and post your own goals and daily progress. Either way, welcome!
