Resolutions vs. Goals



Recommended Posts

For the first time that I can remember I did not make any resolutions. In the last 7 months of 2008 I quit smoking, quit Diet Pepsi, quit caffeine and lost 74 pounds...I figure that is more than I have ever accomplished in all of my previous resolutions combined.

I do still have my original goal to reach my target weight by March 20th which is around 10 monts total. I think I can do it too!

Congrats Jodi!!!!

I would like to lose at least another 50lbs which would get me to 100 total...and depending on what it looks like maybe lose some more LOL!!! I am no longer concerned with categories like Obese etc. as much as how I feel, how I look, and making sure my vitals and cholesterol/bp looks good!

I also want to feel good in a swim suit and maybe take some professional pics on a beach or something.

Also graduate from grad school (hopefully be done in May pray for me!!) and get a better job!

Congrats Jodi!!!!! So happy for you!

I just want to graduate from grad school! I am done in May, amen! I am not a fan of my undergraduate graduation pictures lol so I will be taking some hot ones this year! My goal for this year is to lose 60 pounds which puts me at 156 and at my height of 5'9 I hope to look ok, not too slim! My resolution, is to not be so hard on myself! I need to put myself first and start to appreciate who I am! I also hope to find myself some real L-O-V-E ugh man, tsk tsk, who can understand them?

I would really like to be committed to working out consistantly, eating right and loosing at least 70. I haven't lost much, and its been a bit discouraging. I just want to be successful with this process. I am praying that God will help me. In addition, I want to take my social work licensing exam, and then look at come certificates or possibly another masters.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
