Goals
- First and foremost, I want to be healthy.
- I want to be able to wear anything in my closet and not think I look “fat” or question that my “rolls” are showing.
- I want to look in the mirror and love the reflection looking back at me.
- I want to make my husband proud to show me off and my son proud to have me be called his “Mom”.
- I want to wear a sleeveless shirt and not be self conscious about my arm flab.
- I want to have definition in my arms and have that look of “health”.
- I just want to plain feel good about myself.
In order to achieve these goals I have set up “mini goals” to assist. Having mini goals takes the focus off of the big goal that sometimes seems unattainable. It gives me a number to shoot for and allows me to reach my goals faster (feeling the sense of accomplishment).

Weight
125 is currently my FINAL goal, but if I feel and look good at 130 or even 135, I’m great stopping there. It really isn’t about the number on the scale. It’s about how I feel and look, and whether I’m satisfied with myself. Numbers are just motivating for me to see.
