Hitting my first milestone!

blogentry-66058-1381446137734.jpg This is me, 30 pounds lighter! I think it all came from my face, neck and feet but I'm starting to like the way I look!

 

Today, after 2 and a half weeks of being on a stall, I hit my first milestone. I not only finally hit the 30 pound mark, but I also have less then 100 pounds to go!

 

WHOOPWHOOP!!

 

I didn't really think it was a big deal to set little goals, but this feeling is wonderful today! Especially with being so frustrated not moving the scale at all (even though my clothes all are baggy and falling off me, and I was able to buy a shirt from a store I haven't shopped at since I was in high school).

 

So today I decided these little goals are a big deal and that I need to start setting some. I overall said I wanted my first big goal to be getting the Onederland (under 200 pounds). But I think setting mini goals along the way helps keep you motivated and feeling accomplished. So here are some of my goals:

 

Weight Goals

1: Lose 30 pounds DONE

2: Have less then 100 pounds to lose DONE

3: Weigh less then 225 pounds (smallest weight I have been in the past 7 years)

4: Make it to Onederland

5: Weigh 190

6: Weigh 175

7: Weigh 160 (my weight pretty much all through high school)

8: Weigh 150

9: Weigh 145

10:Weigh 140

11: Reach my goal of 135

12: Reach a single digit size pair of pants/jeans (unsure at what weight that may be)

 

Fitness Goals:

1: Run a mile in less then 10 minutes

2: Run a 5K (by next spring... Couch to 5K work your magic!)

3: Become a jogger.

4: Ride in the "Ride for Missing Children" bicycle ride (100 miles in 2015)

5: Become a Zumba instructor

6: Run a 10K

 

 

Now I know getting down to 135 might be a little far fetch for me, and I might adjust the goal as I go, but I think if I put my mind to it I could get there!

 

I'd love to hear some peoples goals they have set for themselves!

Those are great goals, I'm sure you will lose all you need to. I've yet to be sleeved in 6 weeks but I know it will be the best thing that I've ever done. Can you give me examples of foods you ate in the first 2 weeks? Nervous I won't get all my calories and protein in.

Our goals are pretty much the same, I'm excited to see how I do.

Besides weight goals, I made a few additional -- sit in the middle seat of a plane without feeling horrible about it, cross my legs, also a 5k.

I didn't even think about the plane seats. I traveled quite a few times in the past year and I was always sitting in my seat praying that the middle seat was empty so that I didn't have to sit on the plane for 4 hours touching someone else. I had a man actually get mad and he tried jamming the arm rest down to create his barrier. I carry most of my weight in my hips and thighs so that arm rest wasn't going anywhere.

I'm thinking about traveling this year for my birthday in 3 months. I'll be curious to see how I fit in the seat now!

We will all get there if we put our minds to it :)
