I’m notorious for setting goals and making plans that I don’t follow through with. Don’t believe me? Want a half-finished novel? I’ve got more unfinished novels than you can shake a stick at.
Last night around 3am, I realized that the cruise hubby booked us for will be here in exactly 60 days from today. I also realized this morning that while I lost another pound in the last two weeks (thanks, Wii Fit), I really should kick this weight loss thing into a high-gear mode for the hell of it, to head into the cruise without a bulging gut. Mind you, it’s much less bulgy than two months ago, but wouldn’t a smaller gut just be fabulous?
There are 9 weeks between now and D-Day (departure day) and what are the chances that I can snap off another 10 pounds like I did between January and now? Granted, I won’t have the appetite-suppressing power of discovering shocking truths about my life to keep me from eating, but I do have a new-found awareness of how to eat smaller and add exercise to be successful. The problem is that I have a hard time sustaining anything for that long of a period. I know this about myself.
But the cruise is the light at the end of the tunnel to work toward. Don’t get your hopes up and think I might actually pack a swimsuit because I won’t. But I wouldn’t mind looking a little more slim in my capris. The question is…if I create a new plan, can I follow it without giving up? I really have nothing to lose, do I? Plus the days are guaranteed to be a little nicer, meaning a little more walking will be possible…and technically, March 13th is the end of my original ten week goal. So just add another goal on top of that one, right?
I hope I’m not getting too carried away here. But I think I’m gonna try…
