9 Weeks to Goal

Woo Hoo!
lost another 2 pounds EVEN THOUGH we went out to dinner
for our anniversary and I had a piece of yummy carrot cake!
As long as you "have a plan" you can live your life, enjoy food AND continue to lose : )

I set the same personal goals for myself for this new week (Nov. 2 - 8):
track every day
exercise 3 times this week
aim at a 1.5 pound loss

What eating challenges lie ahead for me this week?
a big birthday party and a family reunion

Turn Left on Holiday Lane

Tonight's challenge was to look at what lies ahead as we begin the journey down holiday lane from now until after the first of January, 2011.

And that's just the events that I KNOW about ... others will pop up ... and of course all the emotions that go along with them.

I'm glad we're planning to stategize together in our weekly WW meetings all the way through!

Even Though

Personal goals this week:
Track everyday
exercise three times
aim at a 1.5 pound loss on the scale EVEN THOUGH .... even though my 20th wedding anniversary is this week.

10 Weeks to Target

Week One goals met (even exceeded) !!
Tracked EVERYday
Exercised three times
Lost 2.8 pounds !!

What I'm Heading Toward

It's near impossible to hit a target that you do not first aim at.

aim (v) point, as for shooting; intend; act of pointing; intention or goal

My personal goals for this week:
track every (EVERY) day
exercise 3 times
aim at a 1.5 pound loss on the scale


My personal short term challenge:
to lose a total of 50 pounds by the first anniversary of the day I joined WW (January 4, 2011) ... l have 11 weeks and 17.4 pounds to go.

Monday, Sept. 20, 2010

Here's what's been happening
Aug. 16 -- down 2.4 pounds, for a total loss of 33.4 pounds
Aug. 23 -- up 3.2 pounds
Aug. 30 -- down 1.2 pounds
Sept. 13 -- up 4 pounds (this was over a two week period)
Sept. 20 -- down 3.4 pounds, for a total loss of 30.8 pounds

I'm not where I want to be, but thankful to be heading back down again. Life got in the way and I struggled to stay focused.

Reality Check

I haven't been tracking what I've been ingesting. I haven't been exercising. I haven't been guarding my thoughts. I haven't been intentional about anything in my life (except to NOT be intentional).
Hmmm .... time for a change.
