goal:
An observable and measurable end result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a more or less fixed time frame.
Let me just put this out here on the world wide web, that I have NEVER, nor will I EVER have a goal to be in a swimsuit. Oh. My. Gosh. The thought makes me....I can't even.... Uuugh! Aaaaaaanywho.
I'm thinking about that first (ok, second) goal I set for myself when I started this journey. I guess I should clarify that my FIRST goal was to lose 10% of my body weight. My OTHER first goal was to lose 40 lbs. by my 40th birthday. I began my quest on April 9th, 2015. My birthday is August 15th. I'm soooooo close. So, so close! *squeal* I'm really doing it you guys! And YOU are helping me. I love the encouragement, the compliments, the honks and waves as you drive by while I'm on a walk. THANK YOU!
And this time around it really is #myforeverjourney. There's no hashtag that says #onlyuntilicrossthefinishlineandthenilleatanentirecaketocelebrate.
This is not just a goal... it's a SMART goal
.
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Time-Based.
So now that I'm SUPER close to achieving my 40 by 40, I need to start planning a new goal. You need to help me come up with another. Oh.... and I need suggestions for a toenail color cause when I get that 40/40...I'm getting a pedicure to reward myself.
