My Goals

Okay, ladies, I'm jumping in! My name is Becky, and Lynette is my sweet friend and neighbor. And I want to thank her for organizing this because I do so much better if I have to be responsible to other people for what I'm doing. :)

I've been having problems with my health for over a year now - I feel like I'm falling apart. I had surgery in the summer, which fixed some of my pain and didn't touch some of it. And I'm still having tests while they try to figure out why this spot in my low abdomen is hurting most of the time. Lucky me, I get to have a CT scan next week!

Anyway, that's all leading up to my first goal:

* To feel better.

I know, that sounds vague, but I have a plan. :) I'm going to:

* Eat a lot of whole grains, fruits & veggies.

* Become a Yogi!

That's right, Yoga is going to be my best friend. (Just as soon as I'm cleared by my doctor to do it - probably mid-next week.) I've only tried a tiny bit of yoga, and I absolutely loved it. And, as a bonus, for the 2-3 weeks I was trying it, that pain in my stomach got so much better!

Those are my long-term health goals. I have stepping-stone goals, though. The first one is to introduce better foods while cutting way back on the foods I love (like ice cream) but should be eating. And doing yoga twice a week for 2 weeks, then going to 3 times a week.

Non-health goals are a bit trickier for me - I have long-term goals but am still making stepping-stones. :)
