So I am thinking about my goals. My mother in law gave me 10 weeks of WW for x-mas. She decorated and dated with the dates of each of my meeting dates 10 envelopes and tucked $12 in each one. I thought this was super nice and very thoughtful. So I know I will be able to coninue my meetings for awhile.
I refuse to pick a weight goal. I never seem to reach those goals. I am also going to aim low as far as exercise goals. Then if I do better I'll feel better, you know. I am going to pick non weight related things to focus on as well, I want to help myself in more ways than my weight.
Ok so here goes...my weeks will start on Tuesdays as that's when my WW is.
1) I will exercise a minimum of 3 times a week for 30 minutes. That would be 63 workouts. Each 30 minute session will earn me 25 cents in my "bank". I will continue to give myself $5 for each pound lost. But I think I am going to reset my bank since I had to raid it to pay for my last meeting LOL. I will try to figure out what I had in there for exercise and then also give myself $5 for every pound from my starting weight.
2) I will set aside "me" time at least 5 days a week. During this time I will journal, and focus on myself by relaxing and clearing my mind.
3) Each month I will focus on one of Doctor Phil's keys. I felt far more in control of the emotional eating when I did this.
Those are my main goals. I have some other sort of ideas I'd like to keep in mind.
My non weight goals will involve creating a better budget so we can pay off some stuff and do some stuff on the house. I want to work on getting organized and keeping up on my house work and stuff. I am going to spend sometime today with my journal and focus on that. I may add monetary rewards to my bank for meeting those goals.
I would like to try my 12 week walking program which would be a total of 72 workouts in 12 weeks I think. I will play this one by ear as my ankle often acts up since I tried this the last time.
I will stick to my points and make the best out of the 10 weeks I have been given. With the exception of one day per month where I will allow myself a "free day". I read an article that people who schedule "breaks" in thier "diet" do lose as much overall and have less negative feelings than those who "fall" off thier diet. I figure there is a holiday each month, if I know ahead of time I will splurge I can curb it at that and not say screw the whole week.
I also got from my inlaws a gift card for JC Penney. I will not use that until my 10 weeks for meetings are up. Maybe by then I will be a smaller size
Is everyone ready? 2006 will be a great year!!!!!
