Daily steps to achieve my goal: Eat a healthy breakfastEat a healthy lunchEat a healthy dinnerEat healthy snacksExercise 30 minutes daily(usually after work or class)Don’t drink alcoholInhibitors : how busy I am proved to be a big inhibitor to my goal. I didn’t realize how little free time I have to do things like exercise or pack a healthy lunch when I will be gone all day. Enabler: My cousin is also trying to lose weight so we worked together, having a support person really helped a lot. Process
