Goal Setting
Interesting article.. I think I will write one on this same subject when I hit 125 pounds lost 
Don’t get my wrong, I did a lot of stuff right on my weight loss journey. But in hindsight, there are a handful of things I would have changed to make my weight loss experience more pleasurable and less rigid.

Pretty amazing… 1000 calories a day!
No matter how much you say abra cadabra to your problem areas, it won’t make it go away!
My new projects… first, 365project.org… same old take a picture a daya and have a running record of whatever you are recording… I have wanted to do this for a long time.. and I just started.. Follow my project here!
The other and even more exciting (to me) project is Schemer.com… Schemer is a new Google site that is in Beta testing (I do have some invites left if you are interested) The official description is “Whether it’s exploring a new city, checking out a friend’s movie recommendations, or just finding new activities for your weekends, Schemer lets you discover new things to do, share schemes with friends, and make the most of your day,” But that isn’t what I get from it… it is something to integrate with Google+ that allows you to set and check off goals while inspiring others… serious goals, silly goals… Learn to do something new… break a bad habit.. create a good one… go to a specific location… do a specific thing.. you set your ‘schemes’ and check them off as you go…
One of my first schemes was ‘take a walk everyday’… and overnight I have ‘inspired’ 5 people… people I don’t know at all… so what does that do for me? Makes me feel like maybe I should try harder to succeed to remain an inspiration… so sign up for Schemer and look for me 😉

When it comes to weight loss I have only had one ‘goal’ for the last 14 months.. “Lose weight to my goal weight of 228 pounds”
Great goal right? Wrong. First I neglected one of my favorite sayings.. ‘A goal without a date is just a dream’ (American psychiatrist Milton Hyland Erickson) When do I want to reach this weight? Well tomorrow would be great, but then that would be a fantasy not a dream or a goal… and if I look at what the ‘experts’ say then I am looking at about 16 months (best case scenario of 3 pounds per week, every week) Continue reading
