Getting healthy -- my goals

Okay, I outlined some of my goals in part 1. Now to put them out there in a bit clearer order.
1) Make smarter and healthier choices when eating, but not give up everything. Not gonna happen -- chocolate in smaller amounts is one things, giving it up completely will get me on the news for murdering someone!
2) Get back into exercise mode -- I used to walk everyday for an hour. That will be my lunch break most days. Also get out and bike or skate with my daugther. Work my horse more.
3) As the weight comes off, get rid of the larger size clothes! If they arent there for me to wear on a "feeling fat" day, I will have to keep on track.
4) No stress eating! Easier said than done I know, but I am doing my best. I have taken to telling myself before I go to sleep at night "stress will not cause me to eat!"
5) On the flip side, no over eating at family get togethers or company functions -- just because food is there and a lot of it, does not mean I have to try everything.
6) "Reward" myself with things like a new book or cd after I lose 10 lbs. -- something that I want but wouldnt normally buy for myself.
7) Use the tricks that I read about in various magazines and see which ones I like and will stick with.

I agree with not cutting things out, that makes it too tempting to "cheat" Never thought about the cloths thing... good idea.....

Check out a book about eating for your blood type, it has some pretty interesting concepts.
