Introduction Text I work full-time in an office at a desk job and recreate with horses and dogs most of my leisure time. According to the BMI scale, I'm not overweight; however, I don't want to cross that line as I age or become less active. I've been there before and it's hard to get back on the other side. My goals on SP are to establish good, new habits, prevent overeating, increase my exercise, and lose 10-15 lbs. by the end of the calendar year.

Lose 5% of current weight by December Maintain that weight loss through the holidays Regain balance and maintain active lifestyle Walk up to 5 miles/day Jog 1 mile by April

1200-1500 calories/day, 50% carbs, 30% fat, 20% protein Low sodium and sugar Walk minimum of 10K steps/day, approx. 5 miles Strength exercises 20 minutes x 3 days/week Stretching and balance exercises 15 minutes x 2 days/week Practice mindfulness daily

Don't tell anyone, but I keep toys in my desk for those times when it seems like it's an all work and no play day
