Back to the goal, so two weeks ago I made a mini goal that I would like to lose 5 kilos before the trip, May 20th. That’s about 11 pounds in 5 weeks, should I adhere to the 1-2 pounds a week rule, that should be just do-able.
As I mentioned previously, I was on the scale when this realization that I didn’t share my goal with you popped into my head and what I saw on the scale was pretty darned promising. As of this morning, I am proud to say that I only have 4 more kilos, 9 pounds to go to meet that mini goal! This is totally do-able and now that I’ve seen the first two pounds gone, it gives me that much more resolve to make it! It's a small, small step, but it's a step!
WOOHOO! Look our Lanzarote, here I come!

I did the same - two months ago. I set a goal to lose 15 pounds in two months. I did everything right, stayed at the lower end of my calorie allowance, worked out a lot and I only lost about 8 pounds. Now I have 10 days to go and I have not lost a single pound in over a week - so 7 pounds in two weeks is not going to happen, especially with the rate I have been losing in the last few weeks.
At the same time I set a goal to fit into a certain pair of pants until then - and I am almost there. I can wear the pants without wanting to faint but I have a bit of muffin top with them, so I think this is a much better goal to go.
Those mini-goals are nice to work towards but don't be too set on them because I go on the scale three or four times a week and I am always really disappointed to not see a loss when I work so hard.
JELUS.
Mini goals are a great motivator! :)
