So part of my process of change is to set goals. The most important thing for me is to have focus and I can't do that if I am just kindof heading towards... some kindof vague idea. I need a specific vision to set ahead of me and give my drive direction!
Like I have been reading in the sparkpeople book I want to set three types of goals. Long term, mid term and short term.
My Long Term Goals.
1. To get Fit and Healthy
Mid Term goals-
1. Hit Onederland!f Getting under 200 lbs. Hitting Onederland is wonderful in itself but it would also put me nearly back to where I was when I was being healthy before I fell off the wagon and gained the weight back & more. I hate being over 200 lbs and it would make me feel sooo much closer to my goal.
By December I hope to be there. That is just 12lbs away from where I sit today as of writing this. I still have 2 months. So all I need to do is lose 6 lbs a month. This is within my reach.
2. Visit the doctor. This is a big issue with me. Between money & transportation issues and the fact that my anxiety is through the roof it is difficult for me. I know I shouldn't wait. But I am going to anyways. I won't beat myself up for this. I will wait until after christmas to go when money should be a bit better and I will also be much better along and feel more confident about going. This also included getting my husband to update our insurance info because only he can change it to our new address.
Short Term Goals.
1. Journal every single day. This is important for me to stay focused and to work out all the crazy emotions, feelings and chaos I have. Also to keep track of my progress.
2. Track my food every day. I will count calories and stay on track.
I will eat between 1200-1500 calories a day for now. I may up that when I start working out harder.
3. Working out atleast 4 days a week for now. I am out of shape and don't want to push myself too hard too fast and then burn out. I need to build it up and take small steps and that is ok.
I will workout Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. - Cardio
& Strength on Sunday, Monday & Thursday
Cardio for now I will be doing 20 mins a day. Split into two 10 min sessions.
Sun- WatP & Wii boxing
Mon- Wii fitness trainer & Dancing
Wed- WatP & Step
Thurs- Wii fitness trainer & Dancing
4. Going to bed at a proper set time everynight and getting up early. Partly from depression I have bad insomnia and it puts a huge dent in getting things down. Staying up all night and sleeping all day does not work for me and it leaves me feeling groggy and without energy all day. I need to get back into a regular schedule. I will achieve this by setting a bedtime for myself where I must be in bed by that time every night. Right now I am saying 1am I must be in bed no matter what and I will move that up to 12am. Trying to develop a small change since I was staying up until 5am lol
5. I will cook atleast one recipe a week. I am not a great cook. It is a struggle for me. I am trying though. I will find one and try it each week though.
6. Lose a total of 20lbs! I am just .6lbs away so hopefully next week or the week after I will be there yay!
Like I have been reading in the sparkpeople book I want to set three types of goals. Long term, mid term and short term.
My Long Term Goals.
1. To get Fit and Healthy
- I want to manage my diabetes. Have a great A1C and be monitoring my blood sugar regularly.
- I want to eat more healthy food. Less processed crap. I want to actually cook and get much better at it.
- I want to grow some veggies. Even if it is just a small little window garden where I grow some tomatoes or something. I always want to garden and currently kill every plant I touch & I so want to change that.
- I want to be fit and active. I want to RUN! I want to do yoga and not feel like I am doing it horribly wrong.
- I want to lose weight. I want to feel skinny and sexy. I don't have a true magic number yet. My big goal is to hit 165 and then reevaluate and see where to go from there. But I want to feel good about my body and be able to wear all the cute amazing clothes I want to.
- I want to be able to control my anxiety. To be able to leave the house and be around people without having panic attacks. I don't want to be afraid.
- I want to feel comfortable enough to finally get my drivers license.
- I want to have some routine in my life and less chaos. Real focus. This makes me happier. I get stuff done and feel accomplished. Setting up nighttime and morning routines and a schedule will help me achieve this. Going to bed and waking up within specific times will also help.
- I want to be more spiritual. Actually put my religion into daily practice.
- I want to have a clean house and take proper care of my pets.
