Day 1 of Challenge

So this is day one of my weightwatchers/study for phd exams challenge!

I have goals, but I always make too many goals and then fail over and over again.  So this time I am making just a few goals that I think are almost attainable, rather than being crazy out of reach.

Goal 1:  Actually track my WW points, EVEN WHEN I GO OVER.  This way I acknowledge my mistake and don't pretend it didn't happen.

Goal 2: Weight loss.  I have a crazy, unattainable goal for the future.  But that is not gonna happen right now.   I joined a challenge on WWs that is 10 lbs a month for 10 months.  That's just a couple of lbs a week.  So right now I am looking for 2 lbs weight loss per week.  That is totally do-able.

Goal 3: Focus on school work.  I have been in a really big rut.  Like huge.  And I am ready to commit to reading all this shit for my exams in April.  So I have to get in gear and not waste a ton of time.  So I have a goal of achieving my reading goals each week.

Goal 4: Go to the gym.  I actually went and did the elliptical 3 times last week and then again today.  I have NEVER gone that many times in such a short time period (8 days).  That is a huge achievement in itself.  And being obsessed with TV, I think that if I pledge to watch my shows while on the machine, then I will go and will not be watching TV when I actually should be studying.

So those are my goals.  Totally do able.

Also, just to toot my own horn, I just needed to finish that episode of BL and I went for 58 minutes on the elliptical and went, get ready for it....  6.4 miles!   Go me!  I hope to keep that up and some day get to 10!!!

So wish me luck!
