Walking for Wellness - Week 4

Hello there Adventurous Friends, this is where I'm keeping up with my eating & walking  activities in attempts to get my weight & cholesterol back down.  I didn't get in a lot of walking this week, though tried to keep eating smaller portions under control & there was cookies made & eaten.

Here's my Plan:

• Eat smaller portions, take smaller bites, chew more 
  
• Eat varieties of all the foods I like & not deprive myself
• Eat a variety of fruits & vegetables, at least 1 fruit & 1 green vegetable a day
• Stop eating when full
• Walk more
• 1 small sweet a day, if any
• Drink more water
• No snacks after supper
