Small Steps

A journey of a thousand miles begins with
a single step.

Lao-tzu
Try This:



I am sure we can all agree that tracking works. 

When we track (or journal) what we eat, we eat less and we eat healthier. 

When we track how many steps we get each day we get more. 10,000 a day may be the goal but anything more than what you did yesterday is good. 

When we track a habit we're building (drinking 6 glasses of water, eating 5 servings of fruits & veggies, flossing) we are more successful at achieving it.

Have you ever thought of tracking what makes you smile? Do you know what makes you smile?

This week I'll be tracking my smiles.  What does Smile Tracking have to do with a healthier weight?  First, health isn't just about weight or physical wellness, health is also about happiness & mental wellness.  More smiles mean more wellness.  Second, if before you bite it, you ask 'will this make me smile?' you're probably less likely to pop it in your mouth.  So yes I'll be tracking my smiles this week.  My goal is to have 100 by my next Small Steps.  I'll be posting what makes me smile on Facebook Like us on Facebook and my blog Visit our blog.  Please share with me what makes you smile.   
 

Will you Smile Track this week? 

 

By the way, 100 smiles in 7 days is only 14 smiles most days.  I think I can do it. 

How'd it go?

My Journey:
Shawndra's AFTERFind us on FacebookFollow us on Twitter
I've lost weight twice before but I gained it back eventually.  This time I'm determined to keep it off and I realize that it's not a one time fix.  It's a journey.  And as with all great journeys, you learn as you go. 

 
I take these small steps with you each week because I also need to build and maintain the habits and behaviors that support me in my journey.  Thanks for joining me each week.  Have fun and enjoy your life!
