Day #2 ~ Goals

I woke up feeling GREAT!! I was in bed last night by 9:30 and Anya woke up at 5am to nurse. We both went back to sleep and then my little teenager proceeded to snooze until 8:45!!! That's 15 min before Seth and Gracie arrive so we had to move quickly! haha!

Since I feel so good it wasn't hard to start the day off eating right. I had my toast and cottage cheese breakfast, a carrot snack two hours later and a salad with chicken for lunch at noon. I plan to have a nice orange for snack around 3pm and then for dinner I'm either making lemon chicken & rice or lentil stuffed peppers. Either way it's going to be YUMMY!

Even though I feel fantastic I plan to rest all of today and not do any running or even a conditioning workout because I don't want to strain myself since this is the beginning of working out again. My plan is to head out tomorrow morning if I can haul myself out the door by 6am, or tomorrow evening around the same time as yesterday (5pm)

I'm excited because I know that eating well and exercise really do work for me, and it works QUICKLY! I am very confident that I will see a significant weight loss by the end of next week. My plan is to weigh every Thursday. My first goals are as follows:

-15 pounds lost by the end of May

-25 pounds lost by the end of June

-40 pounds lost by Rachel's wedding August 17

-50 pounds lost by the time Once Season 3 premire

-60 pounds lost by Halloween

-75 pounds lost by the time we leave for Disney sometime in December


They are very reasonable goals with an average of 10 pounds lost per month.

I like seeing these goals written out like that. It makes it real to me and helps my mind to envision each weight loss victory! I am not looking forward to 2013 being over and I don't wish my year away, but I am looking forward to feeling great in December!

Here's to size 12-14 capris in Disney World!!!
