By losing your goal, You have lost your way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Lately I have been having trouble staying motivated with the goals I have set for myself. I started Weight Watchers over a year ago with fresh determination to lose weight and become a healthier more active person. For the first year things went really well. I lost about 30lbs, was in much better shape, more active and happy. Now is another story. While weight watchers is a great program that works……as long as you are actually doing what your supposed to. After a year I have become slack about tracking, eating healthier and working out. It has become hard to stay motivated and I have started to put the weight back on.
But I refuse to be this person and I refuse to give up.
With encouragement from my boyfriend I have started posting as a way to motivate myself and a more interesting way to track by points and what I am eating. I can also set goals for myself , both short term and long term. And I suppose my long term goals are a good place to start.
My ultimate goal is to lose about 90 lbs. Even saying that is scary and seems unachievable, however worthwhile goals are rarely easy. Smaller goals do make them easier. My first smaller goal is to fit into this great size 16 dress that I want to wear to my sisters wedding in August.
So I have about a month and a half to achieve this, which means I need a plan.
The plan: get back on weight watchers, this means keeping track of my points, eating proper foods and exercising. Also, blogging so that I can be accountable for what I do, both good and bad.
This will be the main theme for my blog. To post things that worked, things that didn’t, recipes I have tried, workouts that I felt went well, my goal and achievements.
My inspiration for today is a chinese proverb
The journey is the reward.
