Setting Some Goals.
As I have been putting this off for far too long
, it is time for me to set some goals and to put a plan into action to help me reach that goal.
My long-term goal is to lose 35 pounds. This I want to have accomplished by the years end. My immediate goal, is to lose 15 pounds. And by immediate, I mean that I am giving myself three months to do it. Not unrealistic at all.
You see I am going to Los Angeles for the first time in my life in the middle of May. So, that gives me three months to meet my immediate goal. Losing 15 pounds should put me down a full size to a 14, or I am hoping so anyway. I know those trendy little boutiques do not carry size 16’s, so for shopping anyway, I need to do this. Hey, anyway I can make myself do it is a good thing, right?
To jump start my weight loss - which I will do - is to make an effort to leave my house at 2:00 everyday to walk and pick up my two youngest ones from school. During the Spring and Fall, I have no problem leaving at 2:30 to get to the school and back home by 3:00. But I need more of the exercise, and I need to start it now. So, weather permitting, I will be out walking at 2:00 PM every afternoon. And by weather permitting, I am going to say that it cannot be snowing, raining, have icy sidewalks, and it has to be at least 32 degrees. Yeah - I am picky, but I know that this should allow for my walk at least three times per week.
Baby steps, laughing as I say this. But it will certainly get easier as the days get warmer and longer.
I am curious as to your weight loss and exercise goals. Share them in the comments so we can cheer each other on and update every week.

I usually let you know mine, but since I didn’t share this week: I will be at the gym three times this week– weather permitting! :P I hate an icy drive over there.
