achieve my secret goal

One year ago I was about the same weight I am now. Weight control is so frustrating when motivation to exercise and diet is lacking. I wish I had NO appetite. When we move, I want to find a house where I walk to work each day. And bring my lunch. And stay busy.

came and went and I didn’t even realise! The culmination of this goal kind of ties in with another one of my goals, which I didn’t realise until I wrote an entry about that other goal. Then it hit me – I’ve completed this goal! Yay me!

Well today I completed step one! I mentioned earlier that I could have fobbed myself off with this one, and I almost walked away from a really good opportunity to do my best with this step today. But I thought for a minute about how I’d regret passing up the chance to do this step well, and bit the bullet. One step to go!

I’ve been thinking, and I reckon that step 7 is looking pretty good, in fact so good after the work I’ve put in recently that I can say this step is complete! That means I’m three quarters of the way through this goal – just step 1 and 8 to go. I could fob myself off about step 1 and tell myself the work I’ve done is ok, but I know that when all the steps have been achieved properly to make up achieving my secret goal that I will let myself down by not completing all the steps properly. So no shortcuts lol!

OMG!!! Step 6 is complete! This is one of the steps that was gonna take a long time and stop me achieving this goal (or so I thought) GO me, I’m really excited about this.

Yay for me! Step five is complete! Well there’s a little bit more I could do but essentially it is finished. This goal is cruising along much better than I thought, I’m half way there! but some steps are going to be tough.

I’m getting off Amitriptyline which will help with weight gain.
I’m ending my teaching semester soon and will have more time for exercising.
Hoping for success in the new year.

Today I achieved step three of my goal, and did a bit more work on step five. But I realised I might have to do a bit more work on step four – it may not be as finished as I need it to be by the end. I will know when the end is closer.

The good thing about it is that it doesn’t matter in which order I complete these steps – they all tie together at the end to enable me to achieve my goal.And since deciding to do this and setting it out, I’ve realised I’ve achieved step 2 and 4! Quarter of the way there already! Have done some work on steps 5 and 6 – must not get too excited, there’s plenty to do yet!

I put forth the effort – I’m counting this as done…
