GOAL!!!

So last week I talked about my lack of excitement at my pace of weight loss and about some of the reason I decided to change my lifestyle. I think one of the best tools anyone can have when trying to achieve s a long term goal is short term goal setting. So I’ve decided each week from here on out I’m going to set a weekly goals that I’m going to try to achieve. The goal this week has a couple of parts. The main goal is to have a cheat free week. I’ve talked about not letting bad choice motivate me to make more bad choice and I think I’ve done a really good job with this but I also think it would be awesome to go a full week with no cheating.

The second part of this goal is to food journal the whole week, I have been doing some food journaling off and on and I’m definitely still keeping a daily estimation of my calories in my head each day but I want to refocus and have an accurate journal of what I’m eating each day. One of the reason I think I’ve been unsuccessful in keeping up with a daily food journal is that I’m only accountable to myself no one else sees it and no one else know if I skip it for a few days. I order to solve this I’ve open a Twitter account just for this blog. I will be tweeting everything I eat and the recent twitter feed will in the right side column or you can follow me @desgetstrim.

I have to give credit to this blog and all of my readers for keeping me motivated and accountable. For those of you who know me personally know that I don’t take failure lightly. I like to finish what I start, be the best at whatever I’m doing and I always put 110% effort into most of the things I do in life professionally and other wise. Somehow though there has been a disconnect between the 110% effort I give most things and the 10% effort I was giving my personal health before I started this blog. Which I think is pretty sad and also pretty common. So many people I know put their own health second, third, or fourth in their list of priorities. This blog has helped me realize that my health deserves just as much attention and effort as anything else in my life and failure is not an option.So on with my goal for the week!
