Regaining Focus ~ Thank you Beverly
Beverly posted this in the Wildcat forum and it got me thinking.
when I’m going to try hard to get back on track ,because November is coming and i want to weight 210 by thanksgiving,i need to get this boat out of the sand,you can’t move in the sand and that’s where i am right now.not moving.but this boat is ready to move,i hope i go with it lol.
A couple months ago while I was bushing my teeth one morning I realized where I wanted to be by the end of the year. It was 2 fold, the first was to hit 50 pounds, the second was to see 299 or less on the scale. I have come along way since that morning. I have reached the 50 pound goal. Now I want to reach 299. I am so happy with how far I have come. I want to take it to the next step.
Last week I had mentioned working on my Shut Up and Do It!!! notebook. Today I am starting to get it together. The purpose of the notebook is to keep me focused. At a glance I can see where I was, where I am, and where I am going. It lists all my gaols, has notes about things that have not worked and why and things that have and why. I have an old fashioned graph paper weight chart in it and a one page calendar. The calendar has blanks by each week to show what I did and a blank for that month’s goal. I can see what I wanted to do and what I actually did. I am also working on a new food log system. I need to find a new way track everything. I am bored with the other ways I have done it.
November 1st marks the last 2 months I have to hit my next goal. I have 29 pounds to lose in 2 months. I am not going to stress over it if it doesn’t happen by December 31st. As much as I would like to see that number by New Years it will not define the progress I have made this year. What will define the progress is the 50 pound goal I reached last week, the 5K I did that weekend, the smaller jeans I am now able to wear, and the stranger I see in the mirror everyday. I love all these changes! Seeing a new number on the scale will just be one more to add to the list.
So back to the notebook. I hope everyone is having a good day.
Much Love
