This is a great time to stop and do a quick self-assessment at your progress into the year so far. Looking back over the past few months can you say you\u2019ve been able to keep productively moving forward towards your goals for the year?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019ve lost track along the way and haven\u2019t been able to get back to working towards your goals again? Or maybe you didn\u2019t have any goals set for yourself at the start of the New Year. No matter what the case, every day brings new opportunities and it\u2019s never too late to create new goals for yourself!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting Started:<\/strong><br \/>\nHaving a goal to work towards is the first step to getting started. Goals towards improving your health are always a great choice and well worth the effort! If you, like many of us decide you have an area you\u2019d like to improve in your health, start by taking some time to think of how you\u2019d like to see your health improve. Next, create a game plan towards your success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>What is my goal?<\/em> Lower my blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p><em>Why did I choose this goal?<\/em> Because I don\u2019t want to have to take blood pressure medicine for the rest of my life and I\u2019d like to have more energy.<\/p>\n<p><em>When am I going to get started?<\/em> Today!<\/p>\n<p><em>Where do I see myself in 2 years?<\/em> Not needing to take medicine to control my blood pressure. Healthier, more active and much happier. Working towards a new goal for myself!<\/p>\n<p><em>What am I willing to do to meet my goal?<\/em> Walk 30 minutes a day five days a week and eat more fruits and vegetables. Increase my efforts in both being more physically active and eating more nutritiously.<\/p>\n<p>Attend one of the FREE exercise programs offered by the City of Los Fresnos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6981\" src=\"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar.jpg\" alt=\"calendar\" width=\"600\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar.jpg 960w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar-768x593.jpg 768w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar-405x313.jpg 405w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar-638x492.jpg 638w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar-619x478.jpg 619w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar-100x78.jpg 100w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar-80x63.jpg 80w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/calendar-800x618.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information contact Christine De La Rosa at 956-312-1406, email<a href=\"mailto:cdelarosa@citylf.us\"> cdelarosa@citylf.us<\/a> or call Los Frensos City Hall at 956-233-5768.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re a little more than halfway through 2017.
