2011 Goals

It's that time of year again. Everyone always makes these unrealistic outlandish resolutions for the new year, and then they usually never follow through. In past years, I have been one of those people. But not this year. This is year WILL be different. One of my resolutions has always been to lose weight, but I never set specific goals for myself, leading to failure. So this year, I'm setting a specific guidelines so I can hit a bunch of small goals on the way to my big one! So here they are:

2011 Goals
Ideally I would like to be down to my goal weight before we go on our Disney vacation the 3rd week of April. So, I want to lose 70 pounds to be at my goal weight. That means I have to lose just under 5 pounds a week to get there. I realize that's not really realistic, but I can work my butt off to try and get there.
My first personal goal is lose 3 pounds/week. That would mean losing 43.5 pounds before April 15th.
So, that's one of my big goals.
I would also like to lose 15 pounds by Valentine's Day (6 weeks away). I just used Valentine's for a specific date...I don't really care that I look good for Valentine's day lol.
I would also like to run a 5K outside the beginning of March. This means I have to perfect my running, and get back on track. I've been avoiding the treadmill lately and just using the elliptical.

That's it for now. I plan to weigh in every Monday from now on. I've been kind of lax about it, but I'm going to start doing it every Monday now to track progress. I'll set more goals as 2011 progresses :)
