Time to set a goal.

I'm going to take everyone's advice and take baby steps. So here is my goal for the rest of this week..

3 bottles of water per day
No snacking at work
No chips (my weakness)

I work at Uno's Chicago Grill.. i love the restaurant's food. But its SO BAD FOR YOU.

I've already had 2 water bottles (16.9 oz each)
I have to be to work in about 3 hours... plenty of time to have another. Plus, we are aloud free fountain drinks when we work...i'll only drink water from the machine... not including that to my 3 water bottles per day.

Next week i'll have more exercise equipment (getting the ab chair) so i'll be able to incorporate exercise.

Hi, and welcome! If you can avoid snacking and control your calorie intake, there's no reason why you couldn't eat a meal at the restaurant once a week. I have a junk food night on Fridays, and I eat chips and fried food.

It's a real pleasure, but I only allow it if I have been good during the week. I find myself looking forward to it during the week. That's how fast food and other high fat foods should be seen - an occasional luxury rather than the way to eat all the time.

The funny thing is, the longer I go with eating properly, the less I really want that food. I eat a couple of pieces of fried chicken and think `that's enough' rather than gobbling lots.

Good luck with it! You can start incorporating exercise straight away without equipment, just go for a walk! Anything that gets you moving is good
