This year has been challenging with regards to maintaining a healthy weight.

My goal is to look and feel even better than I did at the end of last year. I have some work to do.

I had some setbacks over the last 10 months that caused a significant amount of weight gain. My goal is to reach my ideal weight before Christmas.

I plan to:

Eat at least 10 servings of healthy foods per day.

Eat at least 4 servings of vegetables every day.

Eat 3-4 servings of fruits per day.

Drink at least 64 ounces of water per day.

Eat 6 smaller meals per day – all before 8:00 p.m.

Take whole food supplements daily.

Use Certified-Pure Therapeutic-Grade essential oils.

Exercise 5 days a week, resting on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Have a support network that will hold me accountable.

Reduce my toxic load.

Work closely with my doctor to monitor any health concerns.

Take an active role in understanding my own healthcare.

Meditate regularly.

HAVE FUN!!
