December's Goals

I missed a couple of workouts and had one shortened this week.  This turned out to be for the best, as I was starting to feel a bit run down.  I felt more rested for the workouts that I did get in.  I was more relaxed and focused.  I got into a pretty good groove and the exercises flowed really well.  At the end of the week I’d lost 1.4 pounds.

Like last week, I got a lot of compliments and encouragement.  I’m continuing to make strength gains and have started introducing “forced reps” into some of my exercises. 

I needed to set a goal for myself to reach for December.  I wanted to get away from the “lose x number of pounds” model, since that doesn't seem to really be the best measure for me.  I decided to make it a size challenge.  I figure that we’ll probably do something for New Year’s Eve, so I’ll buy myself a new pair of pants to wear to the event.  My goal will be for that purchase to be in the smaller size that I mentioned last month.  They should not just fit, they should fit comfortably.

I don’t plan on changing my approach.  Though, with all of the upcoming holiday parties, I’ll need to keep an eye on the refined sugars.  I’m sure I’ll have some, but I don’t want to over indulge.


Weight loss to date: 39.8 lbs.
