I know that setting goals is an important part of weight loss. I am down almost 50 lbs from my highest pre-pregnancy weight. I don't count the pregnancy weight since I gained 30 lbs with that which I lost immediately after having the baby almost 5 years ago. Whew! Almost 5 years ago. It is amazing to me...ok back to goals. I know they are important and I think about them all week but then life gets in the way. I'm glad they are here and that I take the time to reflect on them each week because it gives me time to think about what I am doing and why I'm not reaching them. It's weird but I'm not beating myself up this time. I'm not angry that it's not coming off fast this time b/c I am still losing 2 lbs on average per week. I'm down almost 40 lbs since I started losing weight last year and I've kept it off. That in itself is amazing. So I'm going to lighten up on the goals this week and accomplish them all. I want to come back here next Monday feeling accomplished with no excuses.
