New Year, New Goals

I sit here one year later reflecting on 2011 and looking forward to 2012. I did not hit all of my goals for 2011 but I am down from where I was one year ago. I am glad that I went a whole year aware of my weight and what I was putting in my body. I am proud that I have become more educated about my health. I have read a book that has helped me see weight loss in a different light, Women Food and God, by Geneen Roth has been an eye opening book. This book has helped me understand or at least try to understand the the gain and ideas for helping myself heal. It's a long journey and I have shed a few tears but it is cleansing. I am enjoying this journey.

So it is time to look at my goals for 2012. Here they are:

Starting weight: 298 (12-31-11)

Goal #1: 288 (3-10-12) weight at the '09 Disneyland 1/2 marathon- pedicure    

Goal #2: 278 (5-19-12) loss of 10% my body weight- massage

Goal #3: 268 (7-28-12) just before my 36th birthday!- diamond studs

Goal #4: 263 (9-1-12)  '12 Disneyland 1/2 marathon- mani, pedi & massage

Goal #5: 257 (10-13-12) Our 11 year wedding anniversary- couples massage

Goal #6: 247 (12-31-11) 51 pounds down!- spa day at Glen Ivy

I've figured that I would lose 1 pound per week, that is realistic. I want to take it slow and not stress out on the weight loss. I think that is why I'm not too disappointed with this years weight loss, I'm not going to stress. I am going to live my life BUT stay aware of what is going on with my health. It is really a lifestyle change not a diet, it is my journey.

Good bye 2011!  Thank you for the life lessons!!! I wish you all the best in the New Year. Be safe tonight and enjoy the celebration. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I will continue on this journey and continue to loss this weight.
