Catch up!

I finally reached my Short term goal... almost 2 weeks late. Dang. But, hey I kept going and reached it. I am so proud of myself for still pushing. I'm also so proud/happy/ecstatic/joyous/(Insert word for happy here) I have lost 100 lbs! It feels soo good. I love how my body is looking and I think people can notice. Yay!



Before

Minus 100 lbs 20 to go. :)



Something else exciting that has happened in the last week: I bought a dress before I left for California for the summer that I wasn't even able to think of zipping. Earlier this week, I wore it to the post office, zipped and everything!! Yay!! I was ecstatic. I was so happy I was jumping up and down.

Oh dear, that photo quality is horrible. Sorry!

I hope you are enjoying the new addition to the blog, photos of food I eat, and when you click on it I have listed what's in it. If you want to know how I made it, comment on the photo and I will gladly tell you how I did it. :)

Speaking of the new food photos... you guys are probably thinking I don't eat that much of a variety... I know I know. I need to work on it, I promise I'm going to start now. You guys want to know how to make yummy healthy food, not how to have a boring food life like me. Gotcha. :)

My new short term goal is to lose 5 lbs in 3 weeks. So be at 175 by 9-27-12.

And lastly if you have any questions just leave it in a comment. I would love to share what knowledge I have learned with you. :)

Setting a short term goal



Hey everyone! My last post was about how to set a long term goal. So the next step is to set SHORT TERM goals to reach that long term goal. Now that you have a big picture of what you are working toward you have to put the puzzle pieces together to make it. :)

Based on the calculations from this post you will lose 1.5 lbs to 2 lbs a week. I think it's best to base your short term goal on that. Something like 4 lbs in 2 weeks is a good start.

For me once I reached that goal a few times and realized I could pass it I increased the amount to what I felt I could do, even a little to push myself.

It's important to set a short term goal the first few times that you know you can reach, so you know what it feels like to reach the goal. You'll feel successful, accomplished and it will give you motivation to work harder and do better. :) It really is a great feeling when you have increased your short term weight loss goal and reached it.

So, push harder, work longer, eat healthier and you make it. :)

Adios for now.
