Happy Wednesday!! Did you happen to set any new year resolutions? I didn't. I don't like them.
The truth is, a new year doesn't motivate me to change habits. A goal does. And now I have a goal.
I want to lose 15 pounds by March 10 by eating healthy and working out daily using BBG.
Why? Because we are going on a beach vacation to the Bahamas.
Does 15 pounds in 5 weeks sound like a lot? Yes. It's a big goal. 3 pounds a week is intense, but for me, that's how it has to be or I won't stick to it.
I'm a true believer in "go big or go home."
I don't choose to be, it's just how I am.
I think it would be nice to set a more realistic goal of losing a pound a week and staying on track; slow and steady. But I get bored easily and when I'm bored I get lazy.
"Oh, I only need to lose one pound a week so I'll go ahead and have these tacos and margaritas now and just focus on losing 2 pounds next week."
☝That's me.
I'm that girl.
I'm that friend.
And I know this... after 34 years of being me, I know this. It's not my greatest trait. But I work with it.
So, 15 pounds to lose in 5 weeks... by eating healthy and working out daily.
Did you notice I wrote not only my goal, but how I was going to achieve it? I think that's a big deal in goal setting.
Setting the PLAN.
Setting the HOW.
It's not hard to say what you want, but it takes some thought to decide how to achieve it. I try to answer the HOW for every goal I set.
And I wrote... using BBG. That's the "Bikini Body Guide" by Kayla Itsines. If you're on the gram, you probably have seen her posts or seen a success story shout out. Well, I'm diving in. I start today and am fully committed. (plus I just shared it on the internet so I feel more pressure now... 😂😳 #truth)
So feel free to jump on a goal of yours with me! Let me know what it is and how we can help each other below!
