Today I want to take the time to jot down my goals. I have several of them.
My long turn goal weight is: 155 I would LOVE to be there by my 26th birthday (but that's only about 1 month away) There is no way I can lose 30 pounds in 1 month.
My short term goal for this week: To drink 96 ounces of water. Here's the formula to find out how much water you should be drinking: take your weight (185) and divide it by 2 (so that makes it 92.5) I want to know how many cups per day that is, so I divide that number by 8 (since it takes 8 ounces to equal 1 cup)... which gives me 11.56. I just round up to 12 cups, which in turn rounds up to 96 ounces. That is how much water my body needs PER day. I thought I drank lots of water before. But when I actually paid attention to my consumption, it turned out I was barely drinking even 2 cups per day. No wonder I had migraines. I was absolutely dehydrated! That was quite an eye opener.
My next goal for the week: Not to eat ANY sugar at ALL!! This will be tough... sugar has always been hard for me to give up... hopefully each day will get a little bit easier.
I would LOVE to be able to lose at LEAST 1 pound per week. But knowing myself and my dieting background I just don't know if its possible. I want to believe that it is. I will try my best and see if I can make it happen.
This is a brand new week. A brand new day. I will start with a clean slate and try my hardest. I will take baby steps. For today, I will ONLY focus on achieving my goals for this day. I will not try to leap.
Let the journey begin!!
