Healthy is the Goal!

Only one more day in the workweek and so far my commitment to eating healthy has been going spectacular!  In addition, my dedicated co-workers (shout out Christine and Bobby) have continued 30-minute vigorous walks every day, going up eight floors and walking every floor.  Today we actually scaled all eight flights of stairs then walked each hall on the way down.  That seriously got our blood moving!!

While performing my new hobby, Pinterest, the following chart popped out at me.  This is how the pounds sneak up on a person!  Becoming more aware has done me a world of good in knowing what to put in my mouth.  (I attached a gram to cups chart for those of us who aren't so good with the metric system!)

Tomorrow is our first weigh-in then every Friday for eight weeks.  Let's hope Mr. Scale treats me right!
