So, things have been going fairly well. My will power and general motivation have been good, but a couple of times they have lost out to tiredness and “don’t give a *#@^!” tendencies (which tend to be a result of bad planning and lack of sleep).
The initial plan was to get to 65kg by Christmas, before going home to family. However there has been a change of plans and I will not be going home. So, with that in mind, I want to step things up a notch and make some other goals to focus on.
Important Events:
25 August (21 days/3 weeks): Friends Birthday
8th Sept (35 days/5 weeks) : Seeing old friend
22nd March (ages away!): Friends Wedding
The first two dates are helpful as they are both times I would like to look/feel good. The time span of 3 and 5 weeks is great, enough time to achieve results but close enough that I know I will need to be disciplined if I want to achieve them.
Goal wise I think reaching 70kg by the 25th of August would be awesome! It’s borderline achievable (given my current tracking), but I think if I commit its possible. Then by September 8th anything under 70 would be great – I will define a number closer to the time perhaps. For now 65kg by 20th Dec will remain the default long term goal until I reassess after the 8th Sept.
New Short term goal:
70kg by 25th August.
-3.3kg in 21 days = 1.1kg per week to reach my goal. I’m going to have to work hard to make this happen! Wish me luck!
