2. Exercise

6. Life/work

7. Other weight loss stuff

* Weigh myself everyday to keep on track and motivated
* Do not get discouraged if weight increases by a pound or two depending on the day before
* Progress pictures every Friday morning (May change if I get Circ Assistant and get a new schedule) 

I’m working on doing one new thing or one thing better than the day before. I am doing this slowly but surely so that I don’t do it all at once and feel overwhelmed. I am creating new, healthy habits.
