Lets get moving Jan.

So you are tired of the extra pounds hanging on your body, what do you do? 
Option 1 Take a pill and poof it is gone.
Option 2 Wish it away
Option 3 Keep doing what doesn't work
Option 4 Make some small changes to your day.

I am going to talk about option 4
The month of Jan we want to add 30 min of walking to our day. 
Because it is so easy to out eat this added walking we also want to do 1 instead of.
An instead of might be apple for hash browns.  Veggies instead of a potato.  Try roasted carrots.  These are really good. 

Wearing a pedometer is a great idea so you can see how many steps you do or don't do in 30 min or how many miles you can do.
At the end of the month how much have you improved?

There are a couple of ways you can track your day.
1st sparkpeople.com  love it and it is free  I am lynnbaum on the site
2nd get a notebook with blank pages
3rd get a calendar that you can write on the days.
4th scrap paper.  just remember to date the paper so you remember what order they go in.

Ideas to avoid
1. It's all up here.  You will be amazed at what you forget.
2. complex trackers you don't have access to, or take to long.
3. trackers kept at work.  Really you don't eat on the weekend.

Thinks to avoid you may not think about.
How much time do you spend with your computer?
Dream it.  You have to do the next step of do it.  Stop just dreaming.

As we start this new year lets make a difference.  Let's do something, make changes.  Take control of what you want and as the shoe co. says,  just do it.  We are going to say "get it done"

What is on your "get it done list""?
If you have something to do, how does it fit on your get it done list.
I will do a blog on the get it done list.

A preview would be that you may add lost weight to a year list but in your 1/2 hour list would be walk 1-2 miles.
Something on the 15 min list might be dust the living room or do the dishes then cross it off for the day. 
I now have to go get those 2 miles done.
