I had never heard of the concept of mini-goals before coming here. I think they are a fab idea. I just cannot get enthused about trying to take of 50 pounds. It is WAY too daunting.
So my first mini-goal was to get back under 180 lbs. I haven't been there for a couple of years. I have been hovering just over 180 for a couple of weeks, but this week have broken thru, I weighed in yesterday, after being away a lot in the last week.
Being away so much was a real test, mostly eating out, lots of stress, (I had to meet as a negotiator for my profession for the first time, and my Dad had heart valve replacement surgery.) and no gym in my hotel the last week.
But, with careful portion control, lots of walks, meditation, and visiting fat chicks for encouragement, I managed not just to maintain, but to lose through all that.
I weighed in again this morning just to make sure, and sure enough, it still says 179!
My next little goal is 173, which was my weight just before having my 2nd baby, and for years was my highest weight ever, and it broke my heart to go over that weight 3 years ago.
Six pounds is doable, getting down below 140 doesn't seem possible yet tho.
Thanks for the mini-goal idea, it makes weight loss seem like something I can do!
