Okay, my friend Amanda just posted some WW goals on her blog and made me realize that I don't currently have any goals set for myself. And I know that goals are a good thing and they help to keep me motivated (that and STICKERS)... (I live for stickers) heehee.
And so, I think that I will do like Amanda did and set 2 goals - one exercise related and one weight related. I think I will try to get 5 activity points this week (thats alot for me - I can't believe Amanda is doing 4 per day...WOW).
Okay, and as for the weight goal - I am currently still going to WW for free because I was a lifetime member who had a baby. But I am only free until June 3oth. SO, my goal is to have lost 25 pounds TOTAL by July 1st's WW meeting. That means that I want to lose 13.6 pounds in the next 7 weeks, which is just about 2 pounds a week, which is pretty darn steep, BUT I want to try. If I actually TRY, then I am capable of doing it.
HMMM...I wonder if this is do-able or if I should choose something a little more achievable? Maybe I should rather say that I want to be 175 by July 1st - that would be a loss of 11.4 pounds in 7 weeks...a little more realistic.
Okay, that was a lot of babbling and thinking "out loud" - but at least I've thought about it. SO, to review - my SUPER goal is to have lost 25 pounds by July 1st. My REALISTIC goal is to be 175 by July 1st. Good luck to me.
:o)
Thanks Amanda for making me think this through.
And sorry to the rest of you who tried to read this and make sense of it. It's more for ME than anything.
OH, AND third goal - is to lose weight this week even though I'm going to Saskatoon to visit Trevor's parents for the long weekend. I want to try to eat properly and count my points every day I'm there, even though I'm there. Its so easy for me to take a break from WW when I'm away for the weekend. But, I don't want to this week! So, THAT is the most important goal I've set here today.

I just realized that both of us have a final goal of 148. Neat.
I think that 5 AP's IS a lot fresh after baby. It definately takes a long time to get into it. I was thinking today as I was on the treadmill that what I did today would have KILLED me when I first got that treadmill in Sept. I was lucky to go 20 mins at a much slower rate.
Sounds like good goals...all of them. You can do it!
Colleen you are already looking so awesome. I just.....you....oh man....I love you so much friend. So proud of you.Keep up the good work.
Hey for us who dont know the WW lingo, would you mind telling us how you get your 5 activity points? Or what that means. Thanks a bunch.

Those sound like great goals Colleen! You can do it.
After reading about you and Amanda, I finally got on the treadmill yesterday. Boy it feels good to exercise! It had been WAY too long.
