my first GOAL

My first attempt to set and reach a small term goal was to lose 10lbs in 4 weeks. It works out to 2 1/2 pounds per week...which is a deficit of approximately 1100 calories a day. Thats not too bad, right?

Im two weeks in and slightly ahead of my goal :) The only thing that kills me are Saturdays! Its hard to have a cheat day AND an 1100 calorie deficit lol. I set this goal as a small step between where I was and my next goal: reach the lowest Ive been in recent history...which was almost 3 years ago, at my college graduation. Im SO excited to reach that goal, and I feel like my journey isnt actually beginning until I get there. Up until that point? Its all familiar territory.  So July 1st is the absolute latest day I have to reach that...but, im hoping to be there between mid-May, early June. Once Im there, its no more picture or video chats until my 30th birthday in November. Im going to fly home, get a rental car, dress up and surprise my family and friends. As you might have noticed, Ive watched WAY too much Biggest Loser ;) Im also going to bring empty suitcases and fill them up with a new wardrobe...Im super excited about the whole thing, except of course, about turning 30 ;)
