Setting Goals
Posted on December 17th, 2007 by January HarsheAny successful person will tell you that you must write out goals…period! If you don’t know where you are going, then what they heck are you doing? Jumping into something blind will end up with you smacking into a wall! You’ll have a bruised spirit and give up. My husband reminded me of this and told me to get on top of it. Here are my goals:
Weight
Current weight (at last weigh in) 235 lbs.
First goal weight is under 200, so 199 lbs.
My second goal weight is 150 lbs.
My desired weight is around 135 lbs.
My desired size is an 8 or under.
Inches
My goals for inches are a little harder, b/c I just don’t know what they will be, however I am still going to make up a goal.
Inches goal: to lose 10 inches at a time. Each time I lose 10 inches it is a time to celebrate!
Exercise
This is a biggie right now. If I don’t move my big butt it will always be BIG! Isn’t that my goal, to be healthy and in shape? Yeah, I’ve got a shape right now, but it’s not the one I want! Walking has not been working b/c of weather and well 3 kids. Going to a gym won’t work right now, b/c we have 1 car that my husband needs for work (that’s right, I’m a SAHM with 3 kids and NO car!).
I have been saying that I want to learn yoga for 10 years now (not kidding). Obviously I didn’t write it down as a goal! Well, now I am.
I am learning yoga and I am starting this week. Brandon is going to get me a DVD at the library. I also told him to get me a hip hop video so I can shake this booty right off!Other goals: (it’s good to write them in present tense like you are already doing/accomplished the goal)
I am stretching regularly.
I am eating a Raw Vegan diet.
I am an organized homemaker and mother.
I am a role model to those around me in all aspects in life, including, but not limited to health!

That’s a lot of weight to lose, I wanna see you do it too. I have to drop 50 lbs. or so, so maybe I can do it w/you. I’m bad at making goals. I need to do that!
