"Begin with the end in mind"

The title of this post is one of my favorite phrases, Steven R. Covey. It's important to have a goal. A specific concrete goal.

My mental goal regarding weight is to look how I did when Joe and I met.

Not only does this mean I could fit into lots of cute clothes but it was the skinniest I'd been in years. And somewhat predictably after meeting Joe I yo-yo-ed back up to a higher weight. I'd love to get back there and stay there (it also happens to be about where I was in high school). It's a happy weight for me. It's not tiny--I can't tell you the last time I was a size 4 or 6...it must have been elementary school--but its a good size for me.

These pictures make me happy. It was a happy time in my life...maybe thats why I got lazy and ate lots of otter pops and M&Ms and got chubby again. Sigh.

May my baby sleep through the night so I may exercise.
