Goals - 365 days from now!

GOALS - 365 days from now!


Everyone makes goals!  From time to time each of us may actually achieve our goals... at least some of them.  This is one I want to achieve and will be taking steps & making changes to insure that it is met on time!


365 DAYS FROM NOW I want to be 100+ pounds lighter!  :)


HUGE GOAL!!!


I have set it before - and failed - more than once! :(


But many things have changed in my life recently and a few more changes are coming up very soon; so now's maybe the best time ever to try this again, but this time, with success!!!


I'm joining some new groups on SparkPeople in hopes of finding inspiration to stay focused this time around.


As with all goals, especially big or long-term goals, it's best to break it down into smaller goals that set up the track you're on so the end result is the big goal being met on time. 


365 days = 1 year = 12 months = 52 weeks
So allowing for a little slack I need to lose about 2 pounds (1.9 to be precise) each week to meet my goal!


Starting from
July 12
to July 18 (lose 2)
July 25 (2; total 4)
Aug 1 (2; total 6)
Aug 8 (2; total 8)
Aug 15 (2; total 10)
Aug 22 (2; total 12)
Aug 29 (2; total 14)
Sep - 4 Sundays @ 2 each = 8; total 22
Oct - 5 Sundays @ 2 each = 10; total 32
Nov - 4 Sundays @ 2 each = 8; total 40
Dec - 4 Sundays @ 2 each = 8; total 48
Jan - 5 Sundays @ 2 each = 10; total 58
Feb - 4 Sundays @ 2 each = 8; total 66
Mar - 4 Sundays @ 2 each = 8; total 74
Apr - 4 Sundays @ 2 each = 8; total 82
May - 5 Sundays @ 2 each = 10; total 92
Jun - 4 Sundays @ 2 each = 8; total 100
Jul 3 - 2; total 102
Jul 10 - 2; total 104


That would get down by 100 or more pounds within 365 days!


Now to STICK to it!
