Setting Goals

Thursday, July 26, 2012

This is the part I hate. I HATE setting goals. I don't do baby steps very well. But today - I realize that if I don't start setting some goals with my weight, I won't get anywhere.

So my goals are now listed on my profile page. I'm planning on losing 35 pounds by the end of October. That's 3 months away. I know this is something I can do if I really work towards it. I've said before that I can do HARD.

HARD in my past has been very mental - nothing physical. I have overcome some major challenges mentally, emotionally, but nothing PHYSICAL. Today is the day I'm starting to overcome my PHYSICAL challenges.

Today is the DAY!

It helps me to set small goals for myself... it becomes over whelming when the big picture is just too too big! I am attempting to lose 98 lbs in a years time and to be honest I feel like I can't do it when I think 98 lbs but when I break it down into small increments feels like a constant WIN... So here's what I have to say to you.... Lose Big but in baby steps... Report Inappropriate Comment

I think that finding the motivation to make physical changes is the hardest part for me. I don't set goals every month, but I have an end goal in mind. Report Inappropriate Comment

5K Training...

Wednesday, July 25, 2012

What am I thinking!!!

Well I'm thinking I better get moving if I'm going to actually lose weight. I am challenging myself to do a 5K in 5 weeks. It is Mud vs Man. I think it looks like a ton of fun. I'm just going to walk the 5K, maybe a little jog here or there- but my goal at this point is to prove to myself I CAN DO HARD!



That's right people - I CAN DO HARD, and the road to my weightloss is going to be HARD.

I'm afraid of what people will think of me if I lose weight - there, I said it. I don't know why I would be afraid of this. But for some reason I have a mental block about losing weight. I want to be the skinny girl, in fact I just want to be the healthy person.

I will get there - and this might just be a first step.

Wish me luck!

A Long Journey...

Tuesday, June 26, 2012

I'm excited to start this journey of weightloss. I have started it many times (too many times to count) but this time there is something different about me. I can't quite put my finger on exactly what it is, but let's hope it lasts.

I am feeling ready to take on the world. The rest of my life seems to be just there and I'm ready to amp life up. A recent job change has made me ticked off and now I'm ready to conquer my fears - including losing weight.

I have a brain that thinks like a skinny person, I want to run and jump with my kids, I want to bike with my husband.

On with the journey, I say!! Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
