Was not expecting a loss for that weigh in because Im retaining water like a mofo but was more than pleased!

Today I didnt have a chance to eat breakfast so at lunch I had a banana, a fiber one bar, and part of a turkey sub sandwich on wonderful crusty bread. Im pounding some water and plan to have a very light dinner and hit the elliptical and free weights before bed.


I do my goals on what I like to call the " 2 - 5 - 9" rule.

When I weigh in, I always see what the number says on the scale and set my next goal for the 2 the 5 or the 9, depending on where Im at.

For instance, I weighed in at 285 today and made a mini-goal! My next goal will be set for 282, then 279m then 275 and so on.

It really does help to keep my goals small and short distances between. Reaching a "9" goal is a HUGE deal for me because it means I am in a new weight bracket.
Reaching a "5" goal means I am halfway down that weight bracket.
Reaching a "2" goal is always exciting because it means I am only 3 pounds away from another weight bracket!!

This has helped propel me for the last 9 months and lose my weight slowly but steadily. When I reach my next goal, a "2" goal, it means I will have lost a total of 51 pounds from my highest weight.

That is something Im really looking forward to!

YOU GO SISTER! I am so very proud of you! I love your 2 - 5 - 9 system... every single digit gives you something else to look foward, too It's those mini milestones that add up to BIG STRIDES! Keep up the amazing work!
