Ok who is up for a different sort of challenge?

Ok folks, I am not getting this Christmas weight off.  I can't seem to get and stay on track.  AND I want it off before more comes on...  so I am going to have to ask for some help.

I challenge each of you, individually, to set some goals here, not my goals, not anyone elses goals, but your goals.  Goals that you know you need to set in order to acheive your weight loss, maintenance or fitness goals.

Starting Monday, I am going to set up a Daily Sleevin' and Achievin' again...  I am going to set goals that I know will assist 'me' in getting back to my lowest weight, which was 142 lbs, I think.  Better yet I am going for 140 lbs.

Here are my goals, even though I hate doing some of these things, I commit to the following top 10 things that I feel I need to do in order to get to my goal of 140 lbs.
1.  Check into and set up S&A daily
2.  Weigh daily
3.  Track every single morsel of food going into my mouth, even if I go off plan, especailly if I go off plan
4.  Eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks daily, be sure to eat every 3 hours or less
5.  Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day
6.  Walk 4 miles a day
7.  Take all vitamins & supplements daily
8.  Read my weight loss book daily
9.  Participate on OH daily - in order to give back...
10.  No alcohol, chocolate or PB until I reach goal - these are my trigger foods, and alcohol is empty calories.

Notice I have not set  a goal for my calorie intake.  I have not said I will do low carb.  I have not set many food or drink restricitons for myself.  Except for my trigger foods...

I have intentionally set this up to be easy for me to succeed.  Not to succeed by being pefect.  Just to succeed by doing the right things.  I am not setting calorie or carb goals at this time.  I am not setting a time frame at this time.  I just want to get into a routine.  I am not in any kind of race.  I want to start to make the above changes and additions to my existing plan, to set myself up for success in maintenance. 

Anyone care to join me?  Please remember you need to do what you think will work for you.  Not what works for me... we are all so different... our goals should and can be different.

Hoping I will be in good company.  Monday morning is the day we start!

Hugs,

Cindy
 

well sleevin and achevin has always worked for me, so i will give it another try...

i am going for clean eating... getting rid of junky carbs and back to clean eating, but i will not wait til monday i have already started and will continue to do it...

I do need to get back into regular exercise though so will add  that to my list of things to improve on....

Hi Buddy,

I was hoping you would join me!  Thanks so much!

See you 'officially' on Monday!

Cindy

I'm in. 

1.  Exercise daily - both cardio and strength training.
2.  Weigh daily
3.  Track every single morsel of food going into my mouth, even if I go off plan, especailly if I go off plan
4.  Eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks daily, be sure to eat every 3 hours or less
5.  Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day
6.  Take all vitamins & supplements daily
7.  Participate on OH daily - in order to give back...
10.  No refined sugars. 

This will be hard, as we are going to be visiting family over next weekend, then spending a day at the hospital on Monday the 21st while my daughter has surgery.  *SIGH*  But I challenge myself to stay on track 98% of the time.  I can do this.....  I want to lose another 9-10 pounds.

Excellent, we don't have to be perfect, we just need to keep working towards our goals.

I am proud of you and look forward to watchng those 10 lbs slowly disappear, for you and for me!

See you at Sleevin' & Achievin' starting tomorrow!

Hugs,

Cindy
