Healthy Weight 2008

The most important thing about setting a goal to lose weight in '08 is to STICK WITH IT.
To do that - be realistic and set easy target goals. So make your goal
- to lose 5 lbs. for January and each month thereafter until you reach your target weight
- choose any activity that is easy to do and fits into your every day routine - like walking.
- Walk up flights of stairs
- Walk to work
- Walk to the store
- Make one healthy dietary change each week
- Example: This week, eat an apple or orange instead of chips for a snack
- Next week: Eat a salad for lunch
- Third week: Skip desserts
Taking care of yourself is serious business - it can save you money in terms of health care costs and add years to your life. But don't take yourself too seriously while you are doing it. Have fun, laugh a little. Tell your friends and family - the ones you can trust not to sabotage you! - what your plan is and get their support. Maybe they will join in.
Make '08 the healthiest year ever for you...adding those fruits and vegetables will help decrease your risks of cancer and many other diseases. Take good care of yourself!

I used the new drug "chantix", to help me stop smoking and without a doubt it worked. I'm 58 years old, a disabled Vietnam Vet with time on my hands who drinks coffee. I'm not going to say it was easy, so I made a pact with myself and quit within 10 weeks, my wife and I both. It's not easy but if you can't count on yourself to help, who can you get that knows you best and will let down the most? I can proudly say I'm not a smoker, there are other sayings out there that are like I'm a recovering smoker. Heck with that, I don't smoke, plane and simple.
