Leann’s 12 Week Weight Loss Challenge

Reasons I MUST change:
1. To lower my cholesterol
2. To be able to play with my family (hiking, walking, running, etc…)
3. To lower my risk of diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension (all run in my family)
4. To help me as I go through Perimenopause and menopause
5. To be healthy and strong and live a long time to raise my children and enjoy my husband later in life.

By December 25, 2006 I will:
1. Lose 10 more pounds
2. Be able to run at least 2 miles at one time
3. Continue to lose inches (not sure how many but just consistently be shedding them) – would love to fit back into a size 10 by Christmas but if I am closer to that goal than I am now by then but not quite there that is fine, too.
4. Be free from the bondage of sugar!!!
5. Take my daily vitamins and get the nutrition I need to be strong and healthy and not just lose weight.

List 5 accomplishments needed to reach my Goal(s):
1. Drink 80 ounces of water per day
2. Run three days a week and walk 3 days a week
3. Lift weights at least one day a week
4. Continue to cut sugar (we are down to one dessert a week at our house)
5. Find healthier snacks and lunches to make and make a plan for lunch each day (that is my weakest eating link - lunch and getting in those snacks)
