February

Goal: Make it to 5,000 steps 5/7 days. It seems to be easier to reach the 4,000 step target at work than on the weekends.

Week 6

Have you ever found yourself frustrated when you see someone else's weight loss success? I feel like such a horrible person, but I am definitely in that zone at this moment in my life. It is probably rooted in my sense of failure for being that lucky girl and then falling off of the wagon in graduate school. I really want to get back to the size I was in college. It was the most amazing thing ever. Yet, it seems like losing the weight is so much harder now than it was then. My current step= I can't do it. However, the good news is that I have hit 4,000 steps several times last week. I even hit 5,000 twice! My current goal is still to reach 4,000 consistently. It's a slow start, but the slow start will help me win the race.

Week 5

The goal of this week is to average 4,000 steps a day again. It's been much harder than I anticipated to reach this goal, but I am determined. I will not let a few sick days set me back. I will start walking 4,000 steps a day and will do it happily.

Week 3

The goal of this week is to average 4,000 steps a day. I think it is harder for me to reach that number on the weekends as I am really bad about spending most of the day reading. I am also less motivated when the weather is nasty outside. However, I have no more excuses if I want to go back to that skinny girl that I used to be.

Oct. 30- 3,600
Oct. 31-3,650
Nov. 1- 3,500
Nov. 2- 4,989
Nov. 3- 1,100
Nov. 4- 3,000
Nov. 5- 3,000

My 1st short term goal: reach 5,000 steps (check)
My 2nd short term goal: reach 5,000 steps consistently for 1 week 

Diet- Reduce amount of soda and potatoes consumed to 1x a week. 

Week Two

When I was in college, I lost 40lbs by walking every day and not eating potatoes. The moment when I first realized that my clothes were too loose was the best feeling in the whole world. I want to go back to that. I want to find that motivation within myself again and know that this time is for good. This time, I am not going to let stress and the realities of my "real-world" job get in my way. I want to be healthy again. I miss that feeling.
