Ready...Set....Go!

So I went to my meeting/weigh-in this morning.  It wasn't as bad as it could have been.  I gained 2.5 and right at my 2 pounds over goal.  So I did not have to pay for the meeting, which was an added bonus.

And I feel renewed.  I bought a three-month tracker and a couple of new cookbooks to treat myself for making the decision to still go to the meeting even though I knew it wasn't going to be great for me (and turned out better than it was yesterday).

So I'm determined to make it a GREAT WEEK, a fresh start, and I'm excited.  I've set a few little goals, a weekly goal and a six-week goal.  My weekly goal is to track, track, track, to stay totally on program this weekend, and to drink water, water, water. 

I realized yesterday that most of the fluids I am drinking these days are coffee, coffee (some decaf) and diet iced tea, hardly any water at all.  So I pulled out my old 32 oz. Weight Watchers water mug and my goal is to do what I used to do, three a day (three mugs that is). 

I'm very excited about the week.  I think my goals are attainable, my plan manageable, and look forward to next Saturday's weigh in. 

I am also excited because I know that my gym reopens on Monday, and I have already arranged my work schedule for the coming week to allow myself time each day to get to the gym.   I have a number in mind of how many calories I want to burn each day, and a total for the week. 

Goals are a good thing for me something I hadn't really paid attention to lately. 

So here we go!  Ready, set, go!
