My Motto : PROGRESS, not Perfection
Weekly Goals
Each week, I check in with myself and set some goals for the week (usually no more than 3).
I believe in making small, incremental changes and building on success (babysteps).
Here’s a list of some of what I think I’ve mastered :
- Drinking enough water
- Checking in with myself weekly
- Having the right food at home (plenty of veggies, cut up veggies in the fridge)
- Eating mostly seasonally and mostly organic
- Eating mostly whole foods
- Not checking out (and regaining weight) when life gets more complicated
- Exercising regularly
- Thinking while I eat (eating mindfully)
- Finding a way to diet in a restricted enough way that I lose enough to stay motivated
- … this list of things I need to work on is pretty long, actually… it’s the point of this blog!
Weight Chart
Monday morning weigh ins have always been a good motivator for me to not throw it all to hell on the weekend, and I do believe weekly weighing is a better gauge of progress than daily. Although I sometimes step on the scale in between Mondays, the day that counts is Monday.
I also keep a google doc which shows more history than skinnyr, but this always shows the current situation.
The starting weight goes back to February 2009 – I’ve been actively engaged in managing my weight without a break since then. I have years of off & on before that – my high weight was 250+. You can read more about my weight history through the years if you’re interested.
