Weight Loss Goals

     Today I am going to set some weight loss goals for myself. It's important to have small victories to celebrate. It keeps you going. :) Before I get to that, I want to talk about my workout from yesterday.

     The hubby had the bright idea to run to the gym (1.5 miles) do spin class and then run back home. So off we went. The run there wasn't great, but it was alright. Then came spin class...

I really like spin class, but we had a new instructor. His workout was MUCH harder than our normal instructor, which is fine with me. I was just working my little booty off. Then, while we were standing and pedaling, my left foot slipped out of the pedal and I hit my shin on it. That wasn't the bad part... the horrible loud noise it made was bad for starters. Then the teacher asked if I was okay... I said "yeah" very quickly. I DO NOT like attention. That was not fun. THEN he asked me what happened.... In front of the entire class. I felt like I was in 3rd grade awkward phase again and was being pointed out when all I wanted to do was blend in. I just blurted out something about my foot slipping and thankfully he went on. And then came the tears. I could feel the lump in my throat... and the lights were off, so I just let them flow. It wasn't ugly cry, but just absolutely embarassed tears. It's ridiculous, I know. I am twenty five years old. Why am I still so insecure? Why did I have that reaction? Should I just brush it off? Probably. But after those tears, I kept going. I talked to the teacher after class about how I liked his music choice. We all laughed and talked for a little bit. And while I was embarassed, I didn't run. And I stayed in class. THIS IS PROGRESS!

     I remember being in college. I had a class on one side of campus and then ten minutes to get to the other side of campus. If I was ever late to that second class, I would not go. There was no way I was going to walk into class in front of everyone and have them stare at me. I ended up failing that class. Because I was too self concious. Because I didn't feel good about myself. Because I didn't know or understand what I was worth. So even though I cried... and even though I felt bad momentarily, it didn't consume me like it use to. So we're calling it a win.

     We ended up walking most of the way home, but that's alright. Then hubby cooked some awesome grilled pork chops and broccoli! And we watched The Voice. Which you know I love. :) Little boy from Arkansas, Josiah, did really well last night. I LOVED the Swon Brothers song. I normally don't like them, but they impressed me last night!

This is how Daisy sits every night during dinner...

     Tomorrow I'm weighing in. I think I'm going to include measurements too. But for today, here are my goals:
1. 220- When I hit about 225, my body gets really comfy and doesn't like to budge. 220 will be good. I'll buy myself a new shirt.
2. 195- This will be the 100 lbs lost mark. I will get a new dress! I almost hit this once... I will get there again!
3. 180- This is my goal weight for the end of summer. I think it warrants a pedicure.
4. 160- My lowest weight in High school. My sophomore year. Momma needs a massage!!
5. 140- GOAL WEIGHT. And I will throw myself a party. With hats. And streamers.
Even after just writing these down, I feel like it's more attainable. Breaking it into steps really helps! Until tomorrow!!
