Write Down Goals
I just sat down and calculated how many weeks are left in the year. Then multiplied it by 2. Hello! That is 52.
52 pounds I cold lose by the end of the year by working on it right this minute. 2 pounds a week is a very safe number to use and is easy to hit with only a few changes today.
But I don’t have 52 pounds to lose. That would put me at 5′7″ and 133. EWW, lol. So what is my realistic number? 30 pounds, 155. Yes, that number looks and feels huge. But that is only 15 WEEKS! Then it would be maintenance. 15 WEEKS! Holy crud, that is Nov 6th.
That would be before the holidays. Before ski season. How doable does that sound when broken down. 2 pounds a week, just 2 pounds at a time.
Have you broken your numbers down?
