New Goal

Hey Buddies! So I’ve been in a size 14 for awhile now, which is awesome since I started out in a 24 (which was even tight at one point, I’m embarrassed to admit.) At any rate, since I seem to be stagnating a bit, I’ve decided to set a new goal. This is not a pounds goal, but a size goal.

Each year, DH’s family members each make a list of things they want or need for Christmas gifts. I found this practice a bit…weird…when I first met them, but once I had lists to shop with–I realized the benefit. So now, I gladly make a list each year. I may get some of the items, I may get all of the items, or maybe I get something completely different–but I’m always thrilled either way. However, this year I put size 12 jeans on my list.

So, whether I actually receive them or not, there is a good chance that someone will give me a pair of size 12 jeans for xmas. Therefore, my new goal is to be in a size 12 by Christmas Day. The 14s are currently comfortable, but a tiny bit loose, so I think it’s definitely do-able. So, starting tomorrow, I will bump my three days a week working out to five days a week, and I will be more vigilant with my points (like maybe skipping some of my flex points, for example, not undereating!).

I know I can do it. It’s a reasonable goal and a reasonable amount of time.

So, I hope you’re all having a fabulous and healthy day. And a special shout out to my girl Jo, who is one of my favorite buddies in the whole wide world and who never gives up on me. Much love, Jo.

xoxo
