Okay, so I've done my fair share of whining. I had a day off to do some planning and shopping. It's time to make changes. Thank you for the suggestions. I've ordered my new running shoes. I've got a smart phone on the way (will help with calorie tracking).
I like weekly challenges. It keeps things from being too overwhelming and keeps me focused on one area that needs improvement. I loved Mir's challenges. The accountability of posting weight and measurements really appeals to me and my need for proof.
Weekly Check-In will be on Sundays before midnight, come hell or high water. Lord knows I spend enough time on the internet, I can bang out a blog and really take a look at my week of eating. Weekly Check-In will include: Weight, Measurements, Reflection/Learning, Plan for the next week.
Here are the goals by week.

I reserve the right to change goals, though I will not allow myself to make them easier. That is 22 weeks and honestly, my scope of 22 weeks is probably off and I will waiver. But this way, I've created a plan that I don't have to think super hard about. No decisions to be made. Just follow the decisions I've made already.
You sound like the Nanette I knew a short time ago. I am glad you are getting serious again. Sometimes we just have to wait until something "clicks". Looking forward to all the good news that is sure to come! Take care.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of tracking by doing taking 100 calories away each week. I think that's do-able. I might do it too now that I think of it. Be flattered, good ideas are meant to be stolen. LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Sounds like a great plan. You can do it.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back. I'll be watchin'. ;)
ReplyDeleteWinderful to have you back!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome plan! Way to go you!! :)
ReplyDeleteGo for it!! Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad you liked my challenges. I'll probably do another for 2013, but probably not until after February, as I need to focus on writing. I have a published author who will critique 50 of my pages, and I need to finish a rough draft. I'm a slow-butt writer, so I can't commit to anything for at least the next two months.
ReplyDeleteBut I do need to reinvigorate and remotivate, so I see a challenge in my near future. :D
Babycakes, I hope you rock your goals. Come on, you CAN CAN CAN. By Valentine's day, let's see you well down into the 200s. come on!!!!
Mir/Princess Dieter
