I've always been the type of person that sets the bar high. My mindset is basically set the bar high and go even higher. Well when I started this new venture I quickly realized that was just not the way to go about it. So....I came up with a new plan. I have an overall goal, which I don't focus on everyday. Every once in a while I take a look back and think damn I have come pretty far :) I set more obtainable goals for myself though so I feel more accomplished. i don't like to toot my own horn, but every time i meet or exceed my own expectations and goals toot toot!! Last January my goal was to lose 40 lbs before my yearly vacation in June. I lost 90. Nothing can explain the feeling I got when I was shopping for new vacation clothes. That amazing feeling every time I saw another one of my family members I hadn't seen in over a year, and they were shocked. After that I set a new goal for myself for our Glow Run in August. It rocked btw but I think I'll save that story for another time. Then I set a goal for Halloween, and finally for my birthday in December. Basically, what I'm getting at is make your short term goals obtainable, but not easy. Make yourself work. Then reward yourself. My usual reward is shopping, which I have found myself doing alot especially since none of my old clothes fit anymore :) Bye
