Part of my weekly goals

This week is to blog for thirty minutes every night this week. I can’t say that will be a habit EVERY week, but for this week its part of my goal. :) I’d like to have my “story” up and posted, and some food-nom-nom’s and more pictures posted.

So, what is the importance of weekly goals? They personally help keep me on track and they are more realistic than long term goals. I mean, when I first decided to lose weight, I quite literally woke up one day and said “holy crap, I’m as huge as a house, I need to lose weight!” then I thought about what I wanted to weight. 130 seemed IMPOSSIBLE (remember, starting weight was 197). So, I picked 150. I didn’t have a date I wanted to do that by, I just wanted to do it. If I sat back and just waited to get down to 150 pounds, I probably would never have gotten there. Each week, I’d decide what I wanted to get down too for that particular week. It not only helped keep me on track on a weekly basis, but made the time go by soo much faster! Last week, I started my week (monday) at 147 pounds. I had a weekly goal of 145, I hit that the next day, so I changed my weekly goal to 143 which came by wednesday. Since it was midweek I decided to not add another goal and just chalked up the week to be a success. By Friday I was 141 pounds. It’s just a little game I play with myself, but a tool I’ve used that has helped me stay very successful! 

Now my weekly goals have changed a bit, they include a weight loss goal, they include a personal goal (blogging about fitness for 30 minutes a day), I ask Corene and others about their goals, and they include something about nutrition.
