1st- I want to reach 190 lbs by June 12th, which is exactly 4 weeks from this thursday’s weigh in.  my graduation and birthday are both that weekend, so I would love to/WILL reach 190 by then. I just have to really put my mind to it.  it’s 100% do-able. it’s only 2 lbs per week, not like 5 or whatever. I just need to stay focused and on track.

2nd- if I wanted to go ABOVE and BEYOND and it was possible, my goal for June 12th, or soon after would be 187 because that would mean that I have lost 40 lbs from my starting weight.  But, once I reach 190, I will set a longer term mini goal in place.  the main reason I am setting this one, which is rather soon, is because that date/weekend has a significant event on it. I know I can do it, I just need to focus and stay strong.

3rd-Another mini goal I have is not about reaching a certain weight, it’s about maintaining strict control over something.  There are a lot of different opportunities to eat bad food at my work.  There is a huge candy drawer-thing. they have cookies, nuts, snacks people bring back from events, etc. But, I never should  eat any of these things. I always bring myself healthy snacks to work and I just need to say NO, and not be tempted. it really messes up everything. so my new goal, is not to fall prey to ANY food at work that is laying around and for the common group. i’m not “common” and I cant just munch on these things whenever.

4th- really stick to my carb/cheese plan. yes, there are definitely times when I am at meetings that provide lunch or dinner which are out of my control, but I need to make sure that when it IS in my control, that I entirely stick to the plan, and that when it is not in my control, I REALLY monitor portions and the choices I make.

Ok that’s enough rules for now.  I intend to be FULLY tracking and on plan this weekend, starting tomorrow a.m.

Back in about 8ish hours!
