Women, Phenomenally

Kristen had a wonderful idea to start a blog that tracks my workout and diet. The idea is that all who are involved will be held accountable through the power of blogdom to stick to their weight loss and health goals.
Despite the name of this blog, I'm under no delusion that skinny is hiding somewhere or that I'll find it magically like Alice swallowing a drink of potion that shrinks me down down down. I've been on this path for a while. I've had little stops here and there, but I've never given up. This is a lifestyle for me not just a new year’s resolution that I'll throw out with the Christmas tree.
That being said, my goals are:

1. I will work out a minimum of 5 days a week. Workouts will include no less than 30 minutes of circuit training and 30 minutes of walk/running.
2. I will make healthy food choices that include more fresh fruit and vegetables. I will limit my calories to 1600 per day.
3. I will limit meals away from home to once a week.
4. If/when I splurge I will not feel guilty. I will accept it as a part of the process.
5. I will pay less attention to the number on the scale and more attention to how strong I am becoming and how much more energy I have.
6. I will love my body regardless of its size or shape.
