I realised today that in September last year I was thinking that I'd have reached my 14st initial target by March-ish! That in turn meant I may even have got to about 12st by my holiday in July. Either way i'd be mostly there by now. Instead I weigh the same now as I did a week into my diet last September. Pants isn't it!
So i've put my targets in writing (in pencil in my diary :) ). At least that way i can look at it and say... "only another 3 weeks and i've reached another goal..." etc
So...
Today I weigh 19st 7lbs
24/05 I'm aiming for 19st
31/05 18.7
7/06 18st and at this point i'm only a year away from being 10st, my ultimate goal, if I chose to lose that much.
I'm planning the weight loss from this point by giving myself a week longer every time to lose a stone.
28/06 17st
26/07 16st
30/08 15st
11/10 14st
29/11 13st
24/01 12st
28/03 11st
6/06 10st
So 12 months and 3 weeks and i'm there.
If only i'd started 12 months ago! LOL!!
But still, every one of these "goals" I reach is an awesome achievement and I promise to be suitably proud of myself and not disappointed if one doesn't go quite to plan! I'm also reserving the right to stop losing weight on the 11/10 if I've reached the target feel 14st is enough weight loss and then at every "goal" from that point onwards!!
Fingers crossed...

Hi Maris. Didn't realise you were online again. Just to say that I'm behind you all the way. You WILL do it. It's so much easier when you have a goal eg. holiday, wedding etc. Just keep picturing the slimmer you on your hols and it will soon become reality. I'll keep logging in to check on your progress.x
ReplyDeleteThanks Scotty! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's fab to know that I have such a great Auntie behind me!
Funny isn't it that having support "in writing" seems to help such a huge amount more!
Fancy a weekend in Norfolk soon??
Once again thank you!!
Lots of love,
