goals

today, I am thinking about goals.. I think that I have met most of the goals that I was looking to accomplish at least the short term ones, and even a couple of the more long term ones. I think that it is now time for me to set some more longer term goals, I think that it is time for to think of ways to keep those goals in focus. I often think that I can't do something on my own, that I need someone to help be do something. I believe that it is time for me to leave reminders of why I need to accomplish the goals that I set for myself.

at the top of my list, as it has been for a while is getting my weight under control. I think that today I will go and buy a scale and take pictures of myself as a Before page, I will then set weekly goals for myself and write notes put them on the computer and in my wallet, so that I remember why I am doing this... once I can prove to myself that I can keep up with this, I think that I will cancel TV and get a gym member ship, see if I can go every day before work... even if it is just to do a little crdio.. I would like to get my energy levels up and get my weitgh to a more healthy level... as part of this I am going to have to train myself how to eat healthy food, this will include vegetables. I believe this will be the hardest part for me... i also believe that if I don't do this for myself I think that I will never really be able to make it to a place where I am happy with how I look... I don't want to be a body builder or to be perfect.... but I do want to look in the mirror and think, ya I don't look to bad... instead of avoiding mirrors at all costs...

I will have to post actual goals today, once I have a scale, and what i think I can acomplish. maybe 5 lbs the first 2 weeks, and then 5 each week after that till I reach a goal weight, and then adjust the goals.
