Goals..Here are mine, what are yours??
Posted by Froggy on May 2nd, 2008
I thought this was good for today. I weighed in last night, and find myself to have lost another 5 pounds. I am thinking of what my goal is for my next weigh in, but I want to be realistic. I don’t expect 5 pounds every two weeks. It would be grand, but unlikely.
So I am making it small. I now weigh 250.5. I want to be under 250 next time. Even if it’s only half a pound under, that is my goal. Totally attainable I think. I want the experience of getting on that scale, and not having to move the big weight to the 250, but only to the 200!!! I will celebrate that one! (NO, not with food!), maybe with a glass of wine though (2pts), and a new bra. Sadly, the girls are shrinking right along with the rest. I never thought they were fat, I just thought they were ample! Turns out I was slightly off on that one….perhaps a breast lift is in my future….but that is a goal that I am tucking away way in the back for now….along with that tummy tuck I dream about.
Roni asked the other day in one of her posts about whether we picture ourselves thin. Or at our goals. I’ve been thinking about that and what I do more than that is to visualize myself doing things I couldn’t do before. Like running….not in a marathon or anything like that, but you know, playing, running around a playground or at a park…maybe racing my best friend (who is also on this journey), and seeing how fast I am….she’s always been very athletic, and very strong….although she’s been very overweight, she has still always been a powerhouse! I kid her that one of my goals is to have legs like hers. She’s my size, but her legs are NOT at all flabby…never were!
I also visualize myself going into a place where no-one has seen me in a long time and wowing them. Kind of my own version of a reveal like they have on Biggest Loser!…corny I guess, but those are things that motivate me to push harder and keep going, and to put the chocolate down!! I seriously wanted some chocolate last night and managed to not buy it, and it was honestly hard!! But I did it.
