When I first started working the a trainer 9 months ago, I had one goal in mind... to look better in my bridesmaids dress. Sometime around February or March, I set another goal... to look better for my high school reunion than I did when I graduated 20 years ago. With that day quickly approaching, I find myself setting another goal... I just want to be done.
I want to get out of weight loss mode. I've been here for way too many years. With the exception of the 17 months that I was pregnant, I've been trying to lose weight since the mid 1990's. That's a long time. In fact, I'm not even sure I know how to NOT lose weight. I guess that's a bridge I'll cross when I get to it. If I get to it. Although I'm much closer than I was when I started, I still feel like the finish line is far, far away.
As far away as it may be, I'm still going to set a goal for it. So here goes... My new goal is to be at 150 pounds by the end of the year. January 1st, 2013 is 30 weeks from today. Even at the snail's pace that I seem to lose weight, I think it's doable. Depending on the day, I'm 15 pounds away from that right now, so that translates to 1/2 pound a week. It sounds like it should be a piece of cake, but I know myself. I still don't have it all together, so even a half pound a week, consistently, is going to be a struggle for me. But, it's a goal that I'm going to aim for nonetheless. Wish me luck!
