Yeah Down One

Finally, the scale is moving


It did make me cry~~happy tears.  I took a challenge during the holidays to not gain any weight and I did that.  Now I have to do S.M.A.R.T goals to continue on my healthy eating to lose weight.

SMART
specif
measurable
attainable
realistic
timed

I am one who does not like goals...probably because I have never made many goals that I have made thru the years.  But I really don't think I was making smart ones.  As far as the time goals, if for example, you say "I will lose 20 pounds in 2011".  Now that is not specific, measurable, or timed.  It gives you a lot of time to do it, but if you are anything like me, you will wait til the last minute to start.  Oh no, it is September, I better get going on that goal.

But if you say "I will lose 3 pounds a month, you have made a smart goal.

Have you all checked out the Made to crave website  It sure has been helping me crave more of God and less of food....come on...go check it out now.
