2009 Fitness and Weight Loss Goals: 6 Month Check-In
June 30, 2009 by Paula

6 Mo. Check-In and Revision of 2009 Goals (in red)
In 2009, I will focus on Financial and Business goals with a secondary focus on achieving my ultimate weight loss goal.
I must admit that I have been struggling to get off the ground with my business and financial goals. I am finally this month starting to see some momentum and am determined to make the next 6 months a huge success with business goals.
Physical:
- To weigh 138 lbs or less by Jan. 1, 2010. (this will be 20 lb loss for 2009, 140 lb total loss) Ultimate weight ideal could be between 120 and 140 lbs. Will see how I feel as I continue to lose.
*Did get a bit off track with this after trips to Ireland, Midwest and Florida – still aiming for 138, but may need to revise as I’m currently in the low 160’s. - To continue with my varied and consistent exercise of walking, biking, strength training, ab work, and pilates – be conscious of a balance here now with time spent daily exercising vs. time needed/spent on personal business goals – may cut back here a bit.
*Have a good rhythm going with this – going to throw some Jillian in there starting July!
2009 is definitely going to be the year of completion for my weight loss goal! I can’t wait to get to maintenance and enjoy being at a healthy weight for many years to come! I suspect I will reach the goal before the end of the year and some of the reports this year will deal with maintenance and issues that I come across while working to maintain a healthy weight and continue with my exercise plan and healthy eating.
I’m not going to be too down on myself about where I’m at currently. Like the whole weight loss journey, this year has been so much about learning and growing. I don’t regret my 3.5 months away in Ireland and all in all it really wasnt there that I struggled with weight gain. It’s a process…I will get there and so will you!!
