When I saw that some of my favorite bloggers were hosting this awesome weekly link up I had to jump in. I mean this is perfect for me. I have some big resolutions and this will help me stick to them.
So I'm starting off my first Follow through Friday with some non-scale victories:
-I've drank 80-100 plus oz of water per day the past week.
-My nicer work pants I bought since all my other pre pregnancy ones were too tight are now falling off. Like so much that I can't wear them anymore. I'm happy but I still don't fit into my pre prego ones and I refuse to buy a size bigger... so I am wearing leggings and dresses or tunics every friggin day. Which I don't mind..... :)
I also decided to start with some small goals when it comes to weight loss. I dusted off my little weight loss jars and put 9 marbles in the "pounds to lose" jar. So my first goal is 9 measly pounds...I can do this. I just lost 3 in 6 days so I'm hoping to do 9 in the next 3 weeks. After this first goal I will set another small goal and go from there. I don't think any of my weight loss goals will be over 10 lbs at a time. It just seems so much more doable to me if they are smaller.
Also, when I lose my first goal of 9 lbs I will be the same weight I was in the above picture. Yay! This was taken fall 2012ish.
What are some of your small goals? Do you prefer small or big (goals....hahaha)?
Have a great weekend!!

I am a small goals girl, the small goals jar is a great idea. I was not trying to have 60 marbles on display for the world to see! ten? I can handle dat!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you linked up! I think that the goals jar is a great idea. Good for you to keep it at small, manageable goals instead of getting overwhelmed. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteI think the small goals work better because they are attainable and keep you motivated. If you set a huge goal and it seems like you are taking a long time to get there you are more likely to give up. You seem like you got this down!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up

Those little jars are so cute! Awesome job on the water! Thanks for linking up :)
ReplyDeleteYou're doing awesome!! And loose work pants! Yes!!!! I love the idea of a few marbles in jars! Doesn't seem as daunting! Maybe I should do that too. Thanks for the tip!!
ReplyDeleteLove the weightloss jars! What a great visual. I hear you on the pants. It's so nice when they get loose but then you're like oh crap I don't want to spend the money on new pants. I had that happen to me in the Fall and I finally caved and bought one pair of work pants and one pair of jeans. About 2 months later I needed new pants again and I just decided to prepare for this by putting aside money each paycheck for new pants.
