My Goals

On my mission we learned a super inspired way to set goals and carry them out. Too bad I don't remember it. So I'll just have to do my best. 

Before I started gaining weight I still wanted to lose 10 more pounds. So now I have to lose the weight I gained plus the 10. My goal is to lose 30 pounds which will put me at 130 pounds. Along with losing the weight though I want to tone my body. I love running, which is good for shedding pounds, but without some weight work it will all just be loose skin. 

So here's my plan. I am going to run 3 days a week and do strength training 2 days, which puts me at working out 5 days a week. For the 6th day I think I'll work on my flexibility, so yoga. 

As far as diet I am now cutting out gluten, dairy, sugar, and soda from my diet. I'll allow myself one cheat day a week, with restraint. I will also make sure that I am actually eating. 6 small meals a day with a lot of vegetables. 

I am going to drink a gallon of water every day. That seems like a lot, but it really is do-able, and if I stay active it will be just enough.

What else? Sleep. I will be in bed before 12 every night. I might make an exception for the weekends. We will see. 

Is 30 pounds by April too much? I'll see how this month goes.

  1. I like your goals. 30 by April seems like a lot to me. Also, I've heard the six small meals thing is a 'myth'. I'm shooting for 3 good meals with healthy snacks in between.
