I'm not making a weight loss goal this week. My goal is to have what my W.W. group back home called "masterpiece day"s. I don't know if other groups did this but we challenged each other, rather than a number on the scale, but a discipline to a certain set of goals short-term. I could challenge those who come here for accountability to this as well if you want.
A masterpiece day is simply a day when you meet ALL the goals set for yourself. And not deviate from it at all. My goal is aggressive, but I want to really see if I can challenge myself.
My masterpiece day is...
1) Treadmill for 30 minutes, Monday to Friday
2) Pilates and/or resistance training for 15 minutes, Monday...Tuesday...Thursday...Friday.
3) Stay on my eating plan, at 23 points. Allow for 10 flex points only.
4) At least 8 cups of water each day.
5) In bed by 11pm each night.
6) 15 minutes of personal reading and/or writing per day.
7) Complete my to-do list for that day.
I want to do this Monday to Friday. Can I??? I want to!! I hope to!!
And of course, I will weigh-in on Saturday morning.
Oh boy, I don't have much confidence in myself because I'm already looking at this and going... wow. I KNOW I can do it. I know it.
"But???? Are we invited????"

One of my favorite times of day is just after dropping Emme off at school,
as Jax and I walk home hand in hand. We always stay and play a bit at the
schoo...

You are certainly off to a good start, Tammy. Sometimes, you have to stop making it 'all about the numbers' and just live life making the right choices as best as you can. I read on another weight lose-type blog where a gal only weighed once a month ~ Talk about restraint! But seriously, get a pair of slacks or a skirt that's a bit tight or down a size and use that as your measure. It may help your motivation more than the stinkin' numbers!
