Every Thursday is my weigh-in day. I usually dread it, because I'm afraid the scale will decide to not like me, and it won't tell me what I think I need to hear. The scale was never my friend before, but maybe its starting to become a bit of one now. My goal for the past 3 weeks has been to lose 5 pounds. At the beginning, I weighed 195 pounds. This morning, when I weighed in, I was very pleased to see that I am now 189 pounds!
This is really huge for me. In the past, I'll try to start working out and eat better, and then, I get absolutely nowhere, and fast. I think that maybe in the past I have set goals that seem to big for me to reach. This time, I wanted to try a different approach and see if I could lose the weight. I made my goal small, and I was able to see that it is easy to reach. I have been eating smaller portions. I have been drinking water throughout the day. I have been working out. I have proved that I can do it!
Now that I have reached my goal, I am setting another goal: to lose 5 more pounds in 4 weeks. I am hoping that I will lose more, but this kind of goal setting seems to be working for me at the moment. I am going to stick with it. There is no turning back now!
Now, if only it would stop raining, I could go out on a walk.
