New Year, New Goal
January 1st. A whole new year is ahead of me - one filled with new experiences, new possibilities, new people, new hope. And new resolutions. I only have a few, only one having to do with my weight.
- Make my family and my time with them my first priority. Nothing else matters if they don't know they matter.
- Get and stay organized in my home. I realized that I am organized everywhere else, but my house is always so cluttered and messy. Not anymore!
- Finish 2007 smaller and lighter than I started it.
So, for that last one, here's my plan:
Since I am trying to get out of the "all-or-nothing" mindset, and I am beginning to realize that 10 pounds a month is very unrealistic for me, my only goal is to lose 5 pounds a month. Over the course of a year, that will add up to 60 pounds GONE! So, while 5 pounds a month is not a lot, 60 pounds is. It still won't get me to my ultimate goal weight, but I make my New Year's resolution.
That being said, I weighed myself today. For me and for the Deal Partners. I am proud to say I lost 43.6 pounds in 2006, all since June 8th. I only lost 1 pound in December (hey, at least I lost all that holiday bloat!) and am starting the New Year at 259.6. Let's just make that a nice round number and say 260. My goal for January is to lose 5 pounds, putting me at 255. Slow and steady, right? Slow and steady.
Be the tortoise...be the tortoise...
