Resolutions vs. Goals



Recommended Posts

For the first time that I can remember I did not make any resolutions. In the last 7 months of 2008 I quit smoking, quit Diet Pepsi, quit caffeine and lost 74 pounds...I figure that is more than I have ever accomplished in all of my previous resolutions combined.

I do still have my original goal to reach my target weight by March 20th which is around 10 monts total. I think I can do it too!

Congrats Jodi!!!!

I would like to lose at least another 50lbs which would get me to 100 total...and depending on what it looks like maybe lose some more LOL!!! I am no longer concerned with categories like Obese etc. as much as how I feel, how I look, and making sure my vitals and cholesterol/bp looks good!

I also want to feel good in a swim suit and maybe take some professional pics on a beach or something.

Also graduate from grad school (hopefully be done in May pray for me!!) and get a better job!

Congrats Jodi!!!!! So happy for you!

I just want to graduate from grad school! I am done in May, amen! I am not a fan of my undergraduate graduation pictures lol so I will be taking some hot ones this year! My goal for this year is to lose 60 pounds which puts me at 156 and at my height of 5'9 I hope to look ok, not too slim! My resolution, is to not be so hard on myself! I need to put myself first and start to appreciate who I am! I also hope to find myself some real L-O-V-E ugh man, tsk tsk, who can understand them?

I would really like to be committed to working out consistantly, eating right and loosing at least 70. I haven't lost much, and its been a bit discouraging. I just want to be successful with this process. I am praying that God will help me. In addition, I want to take my social work licensing exam, and then look at come certificates or possibly another masters.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
