Minou's Minute

Today I took my first baby steps

towards being healthier.

I signed up and attended the 

Weigh to Health weight loss

program at my local Hospital.

It runs for one year and includes

classes twice a month on various

subjects like diet, exercise, 

sleep and mental health.

The first six month goal is to lose

at least 7% of your body weight.

The second six months is to maintain

that loss and possibly lose more weight.

We will keep a food  and exercise diary,

which gets turned in at each class.

We also have the goal to build up to

at least 150 minutes of aerobic

exercise each week (by the fourth month)

I am equally excited and a little terrified

about this new adventure I am attempting.

I know I need to lose weight...I will be

healthier...have more energy...possibly 

extend my life time (more family and

sewing time is always a bonus)

I meet with an dietician next week to

start setting some goals. 

I can do this...yes I can...hopefully!
