Hello + What Success Looks Like For Me

Hi! Happy New Year!

I'm a Miami-dwelling, 29 year old lady who has struggled with weight and body issues my whole life. I'd like to use this year to get to my goal weight, maintain it, meet some great people, support them, and generally find out what makes me happy beyond food.

My goal is to hit my WW maintenance weight of 138 pounds by April 2011 and then hit maintenance by my birthday. I turn 30 this summer. Here are my goals for where I’d like my weight to go.

It’s important to me to both get to my goal and then to maintain. I know that they are both important and different things. I get it.

Goals


Weight/Shape
  • Weight around 138 pounds. For a long time 141 was my magical weight but I think it’s been the number in my mind for so long I can’t reach it. I think 138 might be easier. Note that this might be lower than my final weight since I do plan to be muscly. I'm not very tall so this is a realistic weight for me.
  • Shopping is fun again
  • Feel like I look good in photos and no longer be afraid of the camera


Strength & Endurance
  • Able to do a pull up on my own
  • Run 1/2 marathon in 2011

Behaviors I’d like to create for myself

Exercise Behaviors
  • Working out 5-6 times/week
  • Getting up with ease to workout
  • Not feeling stressed about getting up or worried about upcoming workouts

Eating Behavior
  • Able to go out and eat and feel good about it
  • Eating around 9 fruits & veggies a day
  • Not eating sugar, eating minimal nut butters and wheat products (I think this works best for me)


Mind/Body/Writing/Blogging Behavior
  • Blogging 5-7 times a week as I’m getting to goal; blogging at least 3 times a week after
  • Doing daily morning behaviors
  • Going to Weight Watchers weekly as a lifetime member
  • Sleeping 8 hours/night
  • Daily meditation
