Goals....Reflection...

REFLECTION...
so i posted about goals this morning on my exercise/food tracker website and then i started thinking about looking at pictures and decided today to update the pics on my "weightloss" blog as well as add my goals here....seriously, i was HUGE at 260 in september 2005 and now even at 217.6 in june 2010 i feel amazing...i'm going to take some "body" shots and post them in order for me to SEEEEEE the progress......i know it's there i just can't see it, silly me....

GOALS....
I just set 2lb weekly goals in my calendar – actually marked off the first Saturday of each month on the calendar to show 2lbs lost per week thru the end of this year….by January 1st if I can maintain 2lbs a week, I will be down another…..drumroll please…………..56lbs….160 – seriously?? Shut up?????? Is that even possible??? Right now that is my goal and as I lose or maintain I’ll adjust but I’m feeling good about 2lbs a week as long as I continue on the path of 5-6 days of working out, 1200 calories plus eating ½ to all of the workout calories I earn to put me right around 1500-1800 calories a day….i can do this right????

Tell me I can and then push my ass to do it….i’m serious….160 by 1/1/11….that would be amazing…..more than I ever dreamed of….even being 180 which is about 23lbs away and 1lb a week would be awesome….

Push me push me push me please…..i need the support and motivation to keep going….anyone want to jump in and get busy, let me know…I’m all about sharing the motivation.....

a friend suggested small goals since january is soooo far away, i have those too....
2lbs a week for now.
@ 215 2 new pairs of flip-flops.
@ 205 a new purse.
@ 199 a massage. (that is a huge milestone for me)
190 by labor day (challenge goal - may or may not make it but I'm part of a group trying to lose 30lbs by labor day so I'm really gonna kick it to get there)
185 by my 38th birthday 10/13
160 by 1/1/11 is a very long off goal that I will adjust accordingly as the weeks pass. As long as I stay the course and consistently lose and don't yoyo I'm fine with that. This is how I want to be for the rest of my life. I love the way I feel but honestly I don't SEE the changes in my body. I need to get out pics and really looook at myself now. I know I'm smaller cause I'm finally able to wear my 14-16s and have soooo many more clothes to wear which is very exciting.
I just don't SEE the change.
