What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Actually, I've had to come back because I just made up another one. When I got up to my highest weight, right before I started doing something about it, I went shopping because I wanted a denim jacket. I was with my partner, and I tried it on, and it just looked horrible. My boobs were gigantic and my belly came out even further in front. I just looked old, matronly and frumpy, and very, very round! We both agreed it didn't suit me, and I put it back. I was upset, because it was such a normal piece of clothing, and I'd never had to worry about a denim jacket in the past. So, my new mini goal is to get to a point where I don't look matronly or dumpy in a denim jacket. That might be the case now, I don't know.

Got off track for the entire month of July. My goal for this week is to have a deficit every day ranging from 250-500 cals. My goal for the month is to lose the 3-4 lbs I gained.

First goal met! Now for those 4 lbs.

Mini-goal 1: Get to 14lbs (first stone). Hoping to get there mid-July. Passed 10lbs today and am delighted
Mini-goal 2: Hit 25% of target. Aiming for this by mid-August, just ahead of my friend's wedding.

Mini-goal 1 achieved this morning! 😀

(Existing) Mini-goal 2: Hit 25% of target. Aiming for this by mid-August, just ahead of my friend's wedding.

(New) Mini-goal 3: Build enough strength to start a progressive lifting programme like stronglifts. Aiming for early October. (Hopefully sooner but even bodyweight squats are currently a challenge.)

Just met Mini-goal 2 this morning!! I'm delighted. I really needed a boost after a really tough week.

Mini-goal 4: I have a fortnight until my friend's wedding and my new mini-goal for that day is to be able to zip up my pretty new dress without hurting my fingertips! (And then to find as many opportunities as I can to wear it before it gets too small!! )

Mini-goal 5: To be brave enough to try a new activity with a social dimension. More than anything else, this will push me out of my comfort zone.

Mini-goal 6: To reach a loss of 2 stone (28lbs/12.7kgs). This would bring me just over 33% to goal. Aiming for this by 15 September at the latest.

Now only 3 pounds from a normal BMI !

I shop at two main clothing stores, one does sizes in misses (2/4/6/8/10 etc) the other in juniors (1/3/5/7/9 etc). In the juniors clothing store, I just got into size 11 jeans with only a smidge of muffin top. So my next mini goal is to fit into them completely smoothly. I’m just so excited that it’s the final size before I’m back into single digits.

I don’t know why I find it more exciting than being in size 10 pants which I’m about to by for work, because it’s the same thing. But for some reason it just doesn’t excite me the same way. Maybe because the junior store is more hip/sexy and the misses store is more for work? So come on size 11!

Getting below 140 before my beach trip Labor Day weekend! Just hit 142 and 3 weeks to go in this mini-goal. I’ve been losing about a half pound a week but I think I can ramp it up to meet my goal. ( I’m going pretty slow because I’m trying to be easy on myself - still breastfeeding and I’m also pretty exhausted all the time with 2 little ones).

Just waved good bye to the 190's (187.4 as of this morning) sooooo my next mini goal is 184 by my b-day in September!

3 months till Girls Trip in the Keys.

Fitting into an awesome dress I bought for a wedding next month and actually looking great instead of like a stuffed sausage. Plus seeing the look on my husbands face, since he hasn't seen me dressed up in more than 6 months and 15 lbs ago.
