New Mini Goals (NMGs)


I'm sat at work writing this, although I will have to type it and post it when I get home. Work is boring today, but so annoying me (I'll write about work another time) so I've spent some of my time working out mini goals.

I've lost 52lbs so far and this week at WI/meeting I'll be presented my 50lb certificate. Your next certificate comes at 75lbs. However, before that I want to aim to have lost 5 stone which is 18 pounds away. I want to have achieved this by 15th March 2007. This will then allow me to concentrate on my next two mini goals.

The first of these mini goals will be my 75lb certificate and I would like to achieve this by 5th April. That will me down to 20stone 2lbs, the least I have weighed since 1998. My second mini goal will be to break out of the 20s. I think I can achieve this by the following week (12th April) if I drink plenty of water and go for long walks over Easter.

If I can by any way reach all these targets by Easter, I will be overjoyed as this is my desire but I know that would be very tough so I'm not counting my chickens just yet.

I'm going on holiday on 25th June to Devon. Last year I was too "fat" to do anything there. This year I'm not going to be feeling this way. To make sure of this, I want to be safely in the teens by the start of my holiday. I'll make some more NMGs to make sure that happens in 3 or 4 weeks.

I do have a personal challenge going with Luke (EnYce085 off the WW boards). He is going on holiday on 23rd June and we are going to race each other to lose 4 stone. If I can lose 4 stone by then I'll be overwhelmed but this means losing 2.4lbs a week, something I am not sure I can do. I'll have a good crack at it though so please keep checking here to see how I am doing.
