So I survived my daughter’s birthday weekend and now only have 6.5 lbs to lose till the end of the year. The target is in sight
Goals:
- To achieve a longstanding goal goal of losing 100 lbs. With 5 lbs to go, it is now a short term goal I'd like to achieve by December.
- To run a six minute mile before turning 57 in January. (6:12 three days ago)
- To get to race weight (180 lbs) before June and run a 5:40 mile at that weight
- To win a triathlon next season.
Weekdays with no alcohol for a month. I tend not to stop at just one once I've started, so I just want to see what kind of difference it makes, as far as both calories and broader health impact.
UPDATE ON MY PREVIOUS POST!! Getting there I have lost 15lbs!! The dress is fitting much better!! Still hoping to lose another 5-10lbs before wearing it out.
To be able to fit in the corset again. I did it up last weekend but it gaped a bit. Just a afew more kgs to drop and it fill fit perfectly!
I last wore it 8 years ago!
time to get serious, I want to be in 150s, 159 is ok! I weighed 162 this morning, this has to be doable, I have been going up to 165, down to 162, Now time to drop it and put off junk food like halloween candy til I am there! I wanted a popcorn ball, not yet, Force Myself To Do Right!
5% loss by Christmas so from 225ish to 213ish (11+ pound) loss. and actually stick with it. One of my things ot do this weekend involve writing out a plan beyond the general concept of eat less and move more.
I do know part of the mini-goal plan right now is meals on weekends without mindless munching. logging meals would probably help
My Fitbit weight chart shows that I'm just a bit above overweight - actually I dipped below it last week when I couldn't eat for a few days (side effect of quitting a medication). A pound below isn't going to be different than a pound above, but the chart is a different color below than above!
Most of mine tend to be scale orientated, so I guess the next stone mark - 5.5 pounds away.
I'd also like to start doing 'land' classes at the gym instead of just aqua ones.
There you go, two mini goals
Hit my scale goal and signed up for my local Parkrun. 5k each Sunday morning. I'll be walking it at first but I'm going to do this!
Next mini scale goal is 10.9 pounds to lose.
And to survive my first Parkrun *grins*
Haven't gone to Parkrun yet, got to love being ill, but did do my first 'land' class tonight.
I won't say it went well or that I managed more than half the class but I did it. And I'll carry on doing it until I can do the class with a smile on my face as I swing my hips.
It did confirm what I've always known - that I'm not a land creature - and that's ok too *grins*
We'll see what the scales say in the morning for the weight side of things.

I'm in a similar situation; I'll join you in that challenge.
