With focus and determination, it's no joke, I am making continued progress!
Goals for 2012:
Personal:
- Lose 21 pounds and continue to eat consciously and drink 64 ozs. of water daily
- Exercise 3x/week - Through 12 weeks developing calorie-counting habit; in Week 13 I've started the Jillian Michaels 30-day Shred DVD aiming to get 30 days in before our Florida vacation
- Aim for 1# per week weight loss - lost another 4# in March, total down after Week 13 = 15 pounds
Crafts and Handiwork & Leisure:
- Improve my crochet skills, self-taught 12/1/11 - steadily working on crocheted gifts and finished a self-designed bright spring/summer scarf for ME
