I’ve been doing a system when it comes to my goals I want to reach.

I have my long term goals that will obviously take a while, such as…

-Weigh 145, then focus more on toning

-Work out 1-2 hrs, 5 days a week

But then I have my immediate goals that I’m having to do my baby-steps process so I don’t get discouraged trying to do them all at once.

My first baby step was, of course, dropping soda. I gave myself 2 weeks to reach that goal then I added dropping sweets.

Well…I failed that one. 😦 

BUT that’s okay.

I’ve come to terms with the fact that I don’t think I can completely go without sweets, at least not at this moment, so I have went to no sweets during the week, and one small treat on Saturday and Sunday. I’ve found allowing myself these small treats is much more beneficial, because when I completely deny myself I BINGE, or I overeat other stuff trying to fix the cravings. Hopefully one day I will kick sweets to the curb, but from someone who was eating sweets after lunch and dinner daily, I think this is a huge stride and I will gladly accept it!

Anyways, on to my new goals for the next two weeks I’m focusing on:

-Stick to a meal plan. I want to eat 3 well balanced meals, and 2 small healthy snacks a day. I’m really bad about skipping breakfast and barley eating at lunch, then at dinner in starving and eat too much sometimes.

-Drink 100 oz of water daily. This includes drinking one glass of lemon water every morning. I’ve done great switching to just drinking water but I don’t drink enough. 

-Workout at least 30 minutes a day, but try for 45-60, at least 5 days a week. I’m wanting to still stick to mainly cardio but also add in some area focused exercises also.

-No eating after 7:00 pm. I’m super bad at eating late and I’ve got to break that habit. I’ve been doing better about it but I really want to focus more on this! 

I feel like doing small goals really helps me on the long run. Do you guys make weekly goals for yourself?
