Slimpossible Goals
Inspired by the Trickster, and the fact that I've been back at bootcamp full force this week, I have set two goals and have communicated them to DH, so I can't go back on them IRL:
1. Down to 165 by the end of the year (I'm hovering at 174, but I've eaten like crap yesterday and today so I'm sure I'm puffier now)
2. Get my a$$ going on cardio. Even if its just a walk and not a full fledged sweat session. Its too darn easy to hit the snooze on cardio days.
I've got a 6-7 pound start by being at 174, so I'm really motivated to keep going. Its just so hard because I LOOOOOVE to eat.
Slimpossible ladies, any other goals to share?
Re: Slimpossible Goals
If you want something bad enough you will get it for yourself. I keep going back to that. You are the only one able to change what you are doing now!
I think it's great that you're putting it all out there in the open, I think sharing my journey with everyone I know (because I post to facebook, not just here) has been the best motivation. I didn't want people to know that I once weighed 242 pounds, but they do now. And it makes me realize how ridiculously far into denial I was, and how unattractive that weight is to most people.... as stupid as it sounds, I am driven by being found attractive by others. S-h-a-l-l-o-w.
I also want to be around for Zachary, but even that didn't give me the kick I needed like telling everyone my weight. Dunno.
Anyway. Goals.
I said my first goal was to get down to 199. I am sooooo almost there.
After that I said, 40 to get PG, and I have a major case of baby fever so those extra 12 pounds won't come off fast enough.
However, I would like to wait until Z's birthday for that, just to see if I could get down to 180 by February....
My major goal at this point is to stay as on-track as I can during the holidays and throughout the rest of the winter. I did really good getting up at 5am to go to the gym when it was warmer and sunrise was earlier, but now it's dark until almost 7am and SO COLD when I get up! I only went to the gym twice last week and I haven't gone at all this week (serious cramps played a part this week too). I'm afraid this is the rut I'm going to fall into this winter, but I'm determined to get back on track next week.
I was at 148lbs about two weeks ago, but I'm sure I'm back to at least 150. My goal is still to get down to 130lbs.
I'm not a slimpossible but I do have a question sort of. I am actively TTC. For some reason I have it in my head that I shouldn't be trying to lose weight at the same time. I do not exersize. So I feel that if I eat less calories and start riding my stationary bike for 45 minutes or doing my 30 day shred, that it won't be good for me and will make it harder to conceive.
Any thoughts? I really would truly like to lose 10-20 pounds before I get ktfu, but I'm worried about shocking my body.
I'll share. It's going... but it's going slowly. I was hoping to lose 10 lbs in 10 weeks before Thanksgiving, which is reasonable, but ambitious considering I'm in that "last 10 lbs" zone (and especially considering I've been a lax about it at times). In the past 6 weeks, I've lost about 3.5 lbs, so I'm not quite on track with the 1 lb/week, but still, I'll take it. Slow and steady wins the race (I hope).
