Resolutions

I’m kind of struggling with the resolution that I’m making for weight loss. As many people know I’m a huge proponent of making SMART goals. Which is why I struggled with making this one. It is on the edge of being "achievable" for me.

I’d like to weigh 200 pounds or less by my birthday. To do this I have to be consistent in losing 2 pounds a week. Which means I have to be consistent in all the things that it will take to get me there.

I am highly motivated by Shari’s success. And also by the success of my sister (who I have asked to guest blog soon). I know that I can do it too. I have done it before. And I’m well on my way to getting there already. It’s a slow process for me because I have been lazy at it. But I have set up a SMART goal for myself in order to reach this end result, and I’m ready to ramp it up and work for it. My birthday is only a few months away and I am looking forward to posting that I made it!

Happy New Year everyone!

Taking a break

 

I have become overwhelmed with all the bad news and ugliness on the internet.  I'm signing off for the rest of the year.  There isn't a lot of time before the new year begins so maybe you wouldn't notice that I was gone.    Even the short time that I intend to be signed out will be tough for me.  If you know me, you know that I spend a lot of time online.  I like to read the news and cruise through facebook every day.  I have a list of blogs that I regularly check (but even the funniest ones are tellingly unfunny right now).  And Pinterest even seems a little down right now.  So I need to disconnect from the bad stuff for a bit. 

 

Know that I am thinking of you all on Christmas.  I'm cheering you on during this time of year that seems to make health an even bigger struggle.  I know you're cheering for me too!

 

Shari, I'll have skype on during the holidays.  I'll talk to you SOON!  (Hope you got your camera working!)  Merry Christmas!!!
