So, I have some new lifestyle goals. The biggest of which is to drop some unhealthy weight!

I have a six month goal, with shorter monthly goals in the interim. We’ll see how it goes. It requires dropping about 2.5 pounds a week, and I’m not sure realistic that is. I know it can be done, but does it require 2.5 hours of workout a day? Or will 30 minutes a day do along with watching what and when I eat? We’ll find out! I guess, more than weight, my goal is to be about 5 pant sizes smaller than I am now. This time next month I want to be able to slide my 14′s on without unbuttoning them, and the month after that the 12′s, and ideally I want to be back in an 8 by the end of the year. I’ve been wearing size 16 jeans, which I can slide on without opening, and which start to fall off about an hour later from the stretch jeans get. I can fit into the 14s but I don’t like how they look, so that is my short term goal. Fit in them and like how they look. Then we’ll go from there. Yah, I’m a fat ass. Someone else in a 14 or 16 might not be, but I am basically five feet even and it’s too much on my small frame. I’m not asking to be a size 0 or 2 like I was before I had kids. I’m just asking to drop back into the clothes that are in my closet.

Daily Goal: To have my hair done daily. No, not go get it done, but set it the night before (or cover it so it’s still done) so it is styled and finished for the day. I tried today, but I misjudged and my hair wasn’t dry enough to let the curlers out. I think doing this before bedtime is a better option than in the morning. I don’t wear makeup, so for me to feel “done” that hair is what needs to be done.

Those are two big goals for me, so I’m going to stop there for now. I am holding myself accountable.
