Daily Post--1/9/08

One of my future goals....hhhmmmm.....just one???...lol I want to be able to go rock climbing, to be able to pull my own body weight up the side of a cliff would be amazing! But that's still a ways off, so one of my more immediate goals is to be comfortable enough to exercise in public.

My biggest goal is to be able to see myself for who I am now and not the person that weighed 325lbs. Another goal is to be able to go on runs with my teenage son...he is so dang fast that right now I would never be able to keep up (he runs a mile in less than 5 minutes). My last goal is to get to my goal weight of 150.

I just want to get to goal, excercise more, enjoy life.

I want to be comfortable and content in my body. I want to feel like a "normal" person and not "the fat one" every where I go.

My boys have been certified to scuba dive for several years and have wanted me to do it with them. 70 pounds ago, I wouldn't even think of it, but in April I am getting certified and the end of May we are going to Cozumel (school trip, partly funding the trip!) and I am going scuba diving with my kid!

Goals... 1. To Feel good enough to join a walking team. 2. To see my x-husband in court and let him call me a fat. lazy bit%%. sorry i have not posted, my provider was down due to the storms and have not fixed the problem yet.. had to come to work to use this computer... Good luck to everyone on their Goals.. Cynthia

I really don't have any goals right now. I feel like I am always carrying a lot of pressure on my self to get things done. So my goal is kind of to have no goal. I have planned a few weekends of camping and want to enjoy time off with my kids.

My 1st short-term goal is to lose 20 of my re-gained lbs. I don't really care if I get completely down to my lowest weight; I think I could be satisfied if I could just lose that much and maintain it. This week I have gotten my eating back under control and kind of forgot how good I feel and how good the food tastes when I'm eating the way I should be! My 2nd short-term goal is to get re-committed to my exercise routine, which I have been pretty faithful to for 3 yrs. but which I totally abandoned from right after T-giving til this week. I'm doing good this week, so hopefully my lapse is over! I honestly don't have any really big long-term goals other than to not let little re-gains become big ones. (My total re-gain was about 35 lbs.) I have been so happy since my surgery almost 3 1/2 yrs. ago and have enjoyed so many big & little things that I never thought I would again. I was 54 when I had my wls, so after so many years of obesity, I have been reduced to tears of joy over some of the littlest things! I still get such a kick out of clothes shopping, crossing my legs, toweling off after a shower without being sweaty when I'm done, not worrying about what chair to sit in, being able to easily wear panty hose, and a hundred other things that people take for granted. And my biggest joy is that I now have the energy to play with my little grandsons (2 of them have been born since my surgery). Jo

I want to lose the last 20 pounds and keep it off and continue to think and live healthier

For my hubby to be able to carry me and to be able to set on his lap without smushing him!
