New goals.. for Memorial Day 2009
Mar 08, 2009
So, I am on this lowcarb support site as welland joined a challenge through Memorial Day.
now normally when I join a challenge and set goals, the goals are pretty much just weight related.
Although ultimately everything is relative to weight loss
I need to refocus my mindset from the number on the scale
to how fit I am, the way I feel, the way I look. and what I can now do as a result of my hard work.
I realized looking at the number on the scale although it is a nice way to track some progress
the scale number doesn't tell me how good I look or feel
I am starting to come to grips with the scale number isn't going to matter to me
if I reach some goal weight but yet still have to shop in the plus size stores.
Although, I don't really have an ultimate goal weight set..
I just realized would good would it do me to get down to let's say 180 lbs
but still wearing a size 26?
Not saying that is realistic or likely, but that just put it into perspective for me..
the weight is just one tool to track the loss.. but shouldn't be the end all be all for measuring progress..
I know this all sounds so simple, so elementary and just so.. 'well, duh' .. (lol)
But for me.. getting to this point in and of itself is an accomplishment.
So with all that in mind, the goals I have now set are:
Goal 1: I'd like to be able to shop in a 'regular store' and be able to shop in Victoria's Secret for more than the bath n body stuff.
Goal 2: I would also like to increase my work-outs to two-times a day:
before and after work with weights at least 2x a week consistently.
Goal 3: Being able to run on the treadmill.
If I remain focused on obtaining just these 3 things.. I know the numbers on the scale will be impacted as well.
I will still be weighing myself.. but, maybe only weekly.. breaking away from this multiple times through out the day has been tough, but the obsession with it was driving me crazy!
My surgiversary is the 24th. I may just ditch the scale til I get to the doc's..
hmm...
