GOALS!

Speaking of goals, here are mine:

·         Lose my first 10 lbs.  – COMPLETED!

·         Get under pre-baby weight

·         Weigh in under 200 lbs

·         Lose 50 lbs

·         Weigh in at 150lbs

·         Reach the BMI for my height and weight

·         Run a 5K

·         Run a half marathon

                  Why are goals important?  Without goals, you have nothing to strive for or anything to hold yourself accountable.  It makes reaching these monumental points even harder to accomplish. If it’s important to you, you will write it down and hold yourself accountable! 

          Saying you wish to lose XXX amount of weight can seem daunting if you don’t break it up into goals.  If it’s a large amount of weight to lose, then you can become frustrated with the amount of time it takes.  Just remember that the weight isn’t going to fall off over night.  Setting smaller goals can help you feel a sense of pride once you accomplish them.
