Before

BEFORE


When I graduated high school I weighed a good 183 lbs. Not that anything was wrong with that, I have seen beautiful women who have weighed more than that! But, I wasn't happy with myself. I was miserable not being able to wear what I wanted and hated that I could barley fit into my graduation dress when the day came. Now, I would like to tell you that I was determined to lose weight, I worked hard, etc. But, that is the thing...I didn't. I suffered from my Gallbladder attacks nightly, daily, and all in between. So, I started to lose weight with a combination of birth control and being sick. As November of 2013 hit, I got down to 140! After my surgery that month, I was down to 128 lbs. My goal was to be 120! This is a healthy weight for my height (5'3") and I plan on gaining and toning my muscles in my arms, stomach, legs, and butt. My goal is not to be "perfect" or "beautiful". My goal is to be happy with who I am PHYSICALLY. UPDATE: A few years later, I still struggle with my weight. I was steady at 130lbs and have gotten myself back up to 155lbs. This is where I'm starting again Nov 8 2014

Let's talk about goals!

Some of you may be familiar with this:

HW: 186lbs       (Highest Weight)
LW: 126lbs        (Lowest Weight)
CW: 140lbs        (Current Weight)
GW1: 135lbs      (Goal Weight 1)
GW2: 130lns      (Goal Weight 2)
GW3: 125lbs      (Goal Weight 3)
UGW: 120lbs     (Ultimate Goal Weight)

I have separated my goal weights into 5 pounds each. It's a smaller, reachable goal to go with! I feel that this is more attainable. Now, to those of you who read this, think to yourself...What is your goal weight? How are you going to get there? Put them in small reachable segments and reward yourself for each goal reached!

REWARD, sounds like such a naughty thing doesn't it? Now, when I talk about reward I don't mean go on a binge or eat that piece of chocolate that you've been eyeing for the past week, NO. I mean take yourself to the beach, buy a new pair of earrings, or a new outfit.

For my first goal weight of 135lbs, when I reach that I am going to buy myself a new sports bra!  It's something I need, want, and will motivate me to keep losing weight. Then, once I get to GW1 and start thinking about GW2 I will eventually realize there is something else I have in mind. Maybe a new pair of running shoes or workout gear. When you get closer to that UGW, keep it up! I might go get a manicure or something not related to working out, for the sake of being a good girl.

I will be posting this link into Committed 2 Fit facebook group I am apart of. Ladies, if you read this tell us what your UGW is and what are your GW segments to getting there. Does this system I am using help you? If not what does? We all have our own ways of doing it! Comment below!
