I previously posted my goal of 10% weight loss. While my goal was specific and positive, it clearly did not fit my lifestyle. Since making this goal in January, I have gained and lost a few pounds. In the grand scheme though I am only down by 0.4 pounds. Not a great deal considering the amount of time elapsed, but perhaps reflective of the amount of effort. I specified that I would accomplish this goal through tracking my food, packing healthy snacks for school, and swimming/doing wii fit for 30 mins each day. I had issues in all three areas. Most of all, I never made time for myself to go swimming. I believe that I went swimming at most twice this past term. I need to schedule time for swimming and exercise into my day. I would try and then my advisor would always want to schedule a meeting over the only 2 hours available in the pool. I am not going to let that happen this coming term, I am unavailable for meetings during those few hours.
So I need to make a plan to reach my goal of 10% weight loss. I need a plan that is achievable. I need to find goals that are more specific, still positive, fit in my lifestyle, and are measurable. I think I need baby steps.
