The Best Life Diet

So, I started "The Best Life Diet" (BLD) yesterday. I have been (re)reading the book the past couple of days and it's exactly what I've been needing! I originally bought the book and journal in Dec 2007. I guess I just wasn't ready for it then. B/c now I have notes and hi-lites everywhere! :)

Anyways, went Thursday and got my blood work done. Here are the results:

A1C: 5.6
A1C (fasting): 90
Total Chol: 169
Tri: 262
HDL: 34
LDL: 101

This marks the beginning! Are you ready? I know I sure am...I'm ready to make the changes I need to, to make this happen! Once and for all!!! And one thing Bob Greene prides himself on is this program goes slow. You have to make changes one step at a time so they STICK!!! Ya know?

Gotta move more! Instead of doing aerobic exercise, I counted my steps. Well *I* didn't count my steps but my handy dandy pedometer did! I'm so glad I found it while cleaning out the junk drawer earlier this week. :) And instead of throwing it away, I put it in a box for the garage sale. Once I read that Bob recommends tracking steps, I got it out and started using it. :) I will continue to do this and start adding more walking when called for (during the program). My total steps yesterday was 4100 and that is just a normal day; didn't get outta the house much, no cleaning or laundry, etc.

So, I am excited to see some changes and to make them permanent! I have my goals set for 2013 and I'm ready to knock them outta the park. How about you? Got your goals written out and posted where you can see them daily (maybe even a few times a day)??? If you need help, let me know; I'm here for you! :)

Have a great weekend! Please leave a comment and/or share...It's THE best compliment you could give me!
