There are 12 weeks left of 2011. That breaks down to a mere 82 days. The end of the year is a crazy time with holidays, holidays, and holidays. I am urging you to plan for YOU! Look at a calendar this week and mark down a day you will do something for yourself or a goal you want to accomplish.
No one will argue that these last 3 months of the year are filled with tons of sweet foods. My goal is to lose weight rather than gain weight. After a series of somber text messages last night one of my best friends and I decided to have a weight loss competition. There are now 4 of us total and we will do weekly weigh-ins until the new year starts. I am pumped about this.
My Wii is my scale and it had been 106 days since my last weigh-in. Somehow I managed to weigh exactly the same on weigh-in day as I did 106 days ago. That gave me a little comfort……but then the reality set in that I have been stuck at this weight that I am unhappy with forever. Or close to forever.
It always seems impossible until it is done. Take a minute, take a day, and do something for yourself!
