Alright, here it is.
Thanksgiving is coming, and so is Christmas. I know I always have a very hard time getting thru these holidays. But, my thought was.....as we are getting our shopping done for the holidays, what would you like to have as a reward for making your goals? Wrap it up and put it under the tree, or go out and indulge in your pleasure as a christmas present just for you, from you, because you are beautiful!
December is very difficult for many, with all the christmas parties to attend, all the christmas baking to dodge. If we can get a good month in before all the festivities, we should be good!
So....
1. Pick your "achieved by" dates (as many as you want)
2. Pick the goals you want to achieve by those dates
3. Post your food log here everyday
4. Post your exercise here everyday
5. Post your success and struggles everyday
6. Pick your reward....and wrap it in something unique, so it stands out, as your reminder.
Here is mine (all written in present tense....think it, write it, imagine it, believe it, and it will happen)
1. November 30/05 my size 18 jeans are TOO big.
2. I have exercised at least 4x a week.
3. I try new recipes once a week to keep from getting food boredom
4. December 6/05 my size 16 jeans fit comfortably
5. Reward on Dec 6/05 for achieving the previous months goals...dinner with dh at a fancy restaurant. (anniversary of marriage proposal)
6. December 12/05 a personal goal is achieved
7. December 24/05 my size 16 jeans are getting too big, and its almost time to pull out the 14's!
What will be wrapped under the tree? There is a beautiful bracelet I seen while shopping with mom when she was here visiting. It was only $12.95 but it matched my engagement ring perfectly, marquise cut garnets. I didnt buy it, because I couldnt justify paying $12.95 for it. Maybe now I can.
Tomorrow we start, November 1st.
Ready, set, go!
