Kim Lyons (biggest loser for a couple seasons) has a book 'Your Body, Your Life' that is a 12-week program. Each week (chapter) introduces goals to work on. I seem to like the idea of starting something large by starting little. For today, week one, I am going to start with a food journal so I can be aware of when and what I am eating. I also am going to start moving at least 15 minutes a day. Then I will add on one or two goals each new week.
1st week: food journal, move 15 minutes daily
2nd week: drink 8 glasses of water, move 20 minutes daily
3rd week: trade simple carbs or complex carbs, move 25 minutes daily
4th week: eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, move 30 minutes daily
5th week: eat more fiber, move 35 minutes daily
6th week: eat protein every meal, move 40 minutes daily
7th week: cut out as much sugar & excess sodium, move 45 minutes daily

I think those are very good goals. Starting small adds up to great things. You can't eat an elephant in one day. :)
