My first short term goal is to lose 6 pounds by March 24. I set that when I was at 166, so I'm only 4 pounds away! That is 1.5 lbs less than my pre-holiday weight.
My overall goal is to be 145 by my 30th birthday, August 31st. I know that I have to be realistic and choose a goal is easily attainable. I NEED to take my time getting there. That's why I set my date that far away. If I don't take my time, I'll just gain it back.
I've got to focus on what I need to BE and not what I want to eat! That's tough for me. I tend to be a bored eater. I eat when I'm bored. I eat when I'm sitting. That includes when I'm sitting in the house OR the car. I have thought about making a rule for myself. No food in the car. At least no open food in the car. That way I won't eat in the car.
I also always need to keep a bottle of water with me. If I'm thinking I need to eat, I should drink water instead. That's one of my biggest issues. I don't drink enough water.
Earlier this week, I was going through a box and found a food journal that i started in september of 1999. It was funny to read it! That was right after we were engaged. :)
Anyway, finding that motivated me to start it again. Journaling works!
Instead of journaling on here, I'll probably just keep it in there. That way I'm not doing it twice. I will keep this blog updated with my current weight and other activity.
I know that God WILL help me focus on my ultimate goal, but also help me to take things one day at a time. I need to do this in order for it to not be too overwhelming...
"Give us this day our DAILY bread"!!!! -Luke 11:3
I know that I can do all things with HIS help! "My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth." -Psalm 121:2
