I will keep a food and exercise Diary
I will weigh in weekly on Mondays
I will keep a measurement of my body to determine loss of inches

GOALS:

longterm--- Lose 30lbs by May 11th
Shorterm-- Lose 2lbs per week, 8lbs per month

If goals are met sooner, re-evaluate and make new goals. Post goals where you can read them daily. It may help to take a before picture of yourself so you can document changes.

REASONS I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT:

*Wear my Skinny jeans again
*Feel better about myself
*To be healthy
*To feel sexy again
*Lose weight before I have another child (which isn't anytime soon, lol)
*To prove to myself I can do it
*To wear a two piece swimsuit this summer when I take kohl to the pool
*To be more flexible
*To teach Kohl healthy habbits

ACCOUNTABILITY:
Have someone to encourage you, check in on how you are doing & even to workout with you ;)

*Buy a calendar to mark days I exercise, keep track of wt loss & inches to make sure goals are being met.

REWARD!!!!
For accomplishing my goals I will get my hair highlighted and buy a new outfit. I haven't had my hair done in ages!!
