From LOSING IT! With Jillian Michaels, Friday, November 06, 2009
"Listen, getting in shape is all about setting goals. Losing weight, building muscle, and getting rid of the unhealthy eating habits take guts and perseverance. You're dealing with something big here. When you decide what you want, make it specific and concrete. For example, don't just say that you want to lose weight. Ask yourself some questions: How much weight? And is weight really the most important thing? Or is it more important that you climb your front steps with ease or lower your body-fat ratio? Think hard about what you want, and use your journal to keep track."
I want to be more specific in my goals. This week my goal was to lose the "Halloween weight" that I had gained by having TWO free days. :S I have accomplished that as of today so I want to now see if I can lose some more by tomorrow for my weigh-in.
My goal for next week is to reach 148 lbs. so I don't have to pay for WW and can be a Lifetime member again!
My goal for the end of the year is to be down to 139 lbs. ( I like the 1-3 part of that! It's always exciting to hit the next number.)
What are your goals for yourself? Remember to make them realisitic and mix the large with the small. If your overall weight to lose is daunting, break it up so you can see your progress in meeting your small goals!
Happy Friday! Yea for the weekend!

Good luck! I know you can do it! That Jillian scares the crap out of me - she's always yelling at me through the tv, but the worst thing is that I know she's right! I'm starting slow, drinking lots of water and that usually turns into better choices for me. Have a great weekend cute girl - say hi to Brandon for me!
ReplyDeleteI want to be 149 by The day after Thanksgiving :) (after the big feast) and then 145 by Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGood goals Becky! Don't you love the change in those first two little numbers?!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin! It sures takes time, but it's worth it!
I totally wish I had a personal trainer like Jillian! As much as it would suck to get yelled at all the time- it would motivate me not to screw up in the first place!
ReplyDeleteSmall goals are the only way I'd make it! My goal right now is to get down to 150 by Christmas (only 7 pounds- but I've been stuck for a while now). And then down to 135 by my Birthday (early March). That is my ultimate goal, but it seems so far away! :( I'll get there though!
You are doing great! I know you can reach your goals! If you ever need someone to run with, etc- let me know, I'm willing!
