I don't do outlines, and I don't have an organizer. It just isn't me. My mind just wanders too much. I mean, I try to log-in to calorie counting websites, but I would rather calculate it in my head. Weird...I know! However, I figure that it is time to get serious about my goals and (gulp) write them down.
So, let's see, how do people normally do this? Do I need numbers or dots? Better yet, does anyone have a list template? Nope...ok, I'll give list making my best shot.
1. Lose weight (too generic)
2. Lose 61 pounds (Wow, that is a lot)
3. Re-evaluate the actual weight loss number as I lose dress sizes. A size 8 would be ideal. (I think the last time I was that size I was eight...hum)
4. Drink 64oz of water a day (Thank goodness for the 32oz cup I received from the hospital at my last surgery. It is a HUGE help in keeping track of my water intake. Of course, it probably cost me $100 for that cup...darn hospitals).
5. Eat smaller portions. (I'm rocking this goal. I eat meals off of a salad plate to keep my portions small).
6. Exercise! (This one is huge. I don't exercise at all right now. That is not something I would recommend to anyone! Hopefully, after my next doctors appointment this will improve).
7. 1st Goal - 175 pounds
8. 2nd Goal - 150 pounds
9. Final weight loss goal...135 pounds or a size 8.
Wish me luck!
Oh, by the way, I was wrong in my last post. You can win on Top Chef when you make risotto. Who knew! Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Always nice to have goals!! It gives us somewhere to start. And when you begin accomplishing them, there's no going back. Since beginning my diet, I've actually lost some weight and with that came the "there's NO WAY I'm gaining it back" mentallity. Which in turn, has kept me from eating that ice cream bar, rice crispy treat, or bag of skittles that I KNOW are in the pantry!! I've been almost 2 weeks pop-free. And while I have a headache every day, I'm still determined to go all out! It's all or nothing for me!
ReplyDeleteI know right now you can't get up and move, but keep doing what you can. If you can hit the pool again, go for it. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
We have the same goals! I joined ww (I'm a constant joiner, lol) at the beginning of Feb and so far, so good! I'm glad I stumbled across you via The Nest!! :)
