Goals

I've decided that it is time for me to make some mini goals and rewards seeings as I have embarked on this journey to my goal and have stuck with it this time. I have a history of making goals in the past and then never sticking with the diet. So... now that I have been successful and have my motivation hat screwed on straight.... onward with the goals!!!

1st mini goal - 169 lbs
Reward: A few new things for summer!
Not only will this put me back in the 160's... which I have been aiming for for a long time, it will take my BMI out of the obese category and put me in plain old overweight. I was brokenhearted when I went up a BMI category. I will be truly happy to earn my previous health status back.

2nd mini goal - 156 lbs
Reward: Some heavier weights, some new workout videos or join a gym/class.... one of the three
Being in the 150's again will be a pleasure all it's own. I will be in close proximity to my goal - I will have lost half of the weight needed to reach my goal of 130. This will be a huge boost to the motivation and self esteem for achievement.

3rd mini goal - 146 lbs
Reward: Highlights, manicure and pedicure
This is a significant number for me because when I lost all the weight back in 2004/2005, my lowest number on the scale was 147. By reaching 146, I will have blown past my best number from previously! I will have a new personal best.

4th mini goal - 139 lbs
Reward: Some new clothes!!
I can't recall the last time I was in the 130's... it certainly hasn't been for atleast 15 years. This will be huge for me because I am soooo close to my goal. I will have to really buckle down and work hard to achieve my ultimate goal.

5th goal - 130 lbs
Reward: Go to a Red Sox game and sit in really good seats, and a concert of my choosing!
Words can't describe my feelings about this goal.
