I have a goal. My long term goal is to get to a healthy weight, I'm reaching for 150lbs. This means I need to lose...about 86lbs. I know that if you don't set smaller short term goals that losing that amount of weight can be over whelming and one can easily lose sight or give up their goal. Today I decided to focus on short term goals that will bring my to my long term goal in time. I plan on losing 8lbs by Christmas. This means I have 2lbs per week to lose.
What am I going to do, or how am I going about doing this?
Well, I have decided that I can plan a rough schedule and hope that Elyas cooperates, if not then whenever I get a chance to exercise I will. The plan is that I will wake up around 6ish AM after feeding Elyas and go do my belly dance routine. At noonish after lunch I will take Elyas for a walk, but if the weather is too bad then I will do mommy and me exercises with Elyas (yoga, etc).
Finally, in the evenings, before I go to sleep (hahahahaha, sleep), I will do a relaxing yoga routine and meditate.
I plan on eating healthy, pretty much following the food pyramid, except I will be cutting dairy out (I think Elyas is allergic or sensitive to dairy).
That is how I plan on losing my 8lbs by Christmas.
I honestly will be happy if Elyas lets me exercise once per day, but we will see what happens :)
Hope all of you and your health goals are going well. Please let me know what you plan on doing this holiday season to stay healthy and fit.
Love Ya!
Kim
