My Goals

I lovingly "stole" this idea from Wannabe Mama's blog.

Notice how all of my weight goals are in 5 lb increments? I did this because it's SOOOO much easier to focus on that next 5 lb mark than it is to focus on the larger number of 85 lbs!  I've also included some significant milestones for myself. My next task is to come up with some rewards for myself that will TRULY inspire me even more to keep working hard.

• Run for 5 minutes straight
• Run for 10 minutes straight
• Run for 20 minutes straight
