Hey Vickie! Since you're already halfway through Phase 5, I figured I better hurry and start a thread where you could list your goals soon for Phase 6. You're an inspiration and it is my hope and prayer and that all of us will eventually reach Phase 6 and beyond!

Post Phase 6 goals in this thread and congratulations on making it this far!

Ok, here are my "official" Phase 6 goals.

1. Continue monitoring blood glucoses

2. Continue food journal

3. Back to counting my water intake as it has taken a definate slow down in the past few weeks. Goal will be at least 64 ounces a day

4. Back to counting fruit and veggies servings (2 fruit and 3 veggies per day) as this is something else I have slacked on recently

5. 30 minutes exercise 3 times a week

In a lot of ways I feel like I am starting all over again. I slacked on alot of the good habits I had developed....and now I must re-develop them. Will I ever grow up????

Blessings:spring:
