Members Speak - What is your personal goal for 2010?

Hey Everyone 

I hope this finds you survived the New Year celebrations and are ready to Rock the new year  The beginning of a new year is a great time to reflect and get excited.  

For the new year, I want to get Back On Track with my eating and exercise.  I have become lazy with the rules and don't feel as awesome as I used to.  Exercise use to be my passion and I want that back in my life.  So eating clean and getting exercise in my life is my personal goals for 2010. 

What is your personal goal for 2010?  Your comments may appear in our January edition of ObesityHelp's Newsletter! 

Take care,
Kathy

2010 Goal:  MAINTENANCE ALL YEAR LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like you, Kathy, I would like to eat clean and look forward to exercise (instead of dreading it).  Doing this will help me also to reach my weight goal in 2010.

Were do I want to be by 2010 December 31 11:59pm?

With the start of this new year I took stock of myself and saw were I falter and slipped up. I realized my mistakes and with new motivation and promises I am keeping my eye on the ball. I am proud of the achievement so far but I know I could have done better. There were too many days were I didn't follow the band rules. So on that nigh I want to look back and say I really did my best to reach my goal.

To do that, I have to:

Never take a day off from following the band rules. Challenges come along inevitably, but how I respond to them determines who I am - deep down inside - and everything I am going to be. Everyday I may not win, but I need to know what it takes to be a winner.

I want to have reached Goal!

I what to have written in my journal my thoughts, dreams, and wishes I at least once a week.

I want to see more 100% days written at the bottom. So I can look back of this year and read who I was and what I was thinking during this part of the journey.

I want to be a better person to myself.

I want to like exercising (Oh who am I kidding I will never like exercising)

I want to look in the mirror and see the person on the outside that I have always know was on the inside.

I want to Rock 2010 because 2011 I will be 50 and married 20 years. We want to fly to Italy to celebrate these milestones. Welcome 2010 I am ready to face these challenges and with my band I am almost there!

I'd like to get closer to my goal weight, fit comfortably in my cloths and in my skin, and be happy with my choices when I make them, and especially AFTER I make them.

hmmmm... Lets see;
I certainly want to stay on track and lose the last 20 lbs that I want to lose.
I WILL stay on  track and lose the last 20 lbs!
 
I want to be able to look back at the year and see that most of the time I felt my health and weight were more important than whatever was tempting me.
I WILL think before I eat.  I will plan ahead and be prepared.

I want to learn not to run to food to comfort me.  If I'm annoyed I need to find something else that will make me feel better.  (I get depressed and/or annoyed easily)

I want to feel confident with my body. I don't want to have to pull my shirt down over my roll all the time.
I WILL do at least 1 hour of core exercises a week. (no not every day - that is not realistic for me, would never happen.)

It would be nice if I didn't have to be so focused on food every day.  I know that not focusing won't work for me so I guess I want to be able to accept that I can't take my eye off the ball, ever.
I WILL plan ahead and always have protein readily available.

Hmmmmm, 2010, I don't set goals for any year.  I set a goal back in November to get rid of the extra weight I put on in the last few years and I am over half way there so I guess I plan on being at the end of the goal in 2010.  Once I hit that goal, I may just set a goal to get to the lower weight that is on my Ticker, I know that is where the doctor originally wanted me, I'm still not sure that is what I want so any weight below my first goal will be the one I want !   I have already started eating properly, most of the time, I do allow myself to step off the wagon once in awhile,

I guess the other one is to have my batwings fixed this year, I go to see a PS on Friday.  This is the major issue I have had since I had my weight loss.  If this goes well I have a little niggle in my brain that says I might want to have a panni, but that is still only a niggle.  My year is so busy I can only do one thing at a time. 

Looking forward to the new year and what it brings !

Hi, Kathy:

My personal goals for this year revolve around getting back "in the groove" with my exercise and food choices.  I used to work out 5 times a week -- I plan on getting back to it again.  I have already begun!  :)  Food choices:  I am tracking again, like I used to, and am working hard to focus on protein and getting all of my fluids in.

Happy New Year!  :)

Mmmmm, goals for 2010...
Feeling good in my skin and liking what I see in the mirror.  Maybe even take some pictures. 
Exercise more (or at least get started again!)  Lose the last of this weight ad maintain.  I know the "rules" but let them get out of sight.  I need some guidance in this move. 
When I was 40, I had the dreaded 4 F's....Female, Fat and Forty....Now I want to celebrate my 50's by ....Female, Fifty and FABULOUS!
 I would also like to learn about this "clean eating" I keep hearing about as well!!
