Haven't updated my bio yet... but i decided after my mental breakdown friday that i am changing my weightloss goal...sort of.
So as of right now.. my goal for my birthday was 145. Never really cared to be 145, but thought it was a nice round number and only 20 lbs away from my first long time goal of 165.
Naiomy tends to be a psychopath when it comes to numbers. lol.. So.. i decided to make my goal for my birthday 155 (yes only like 12 lbs away).. and move towards sculpting my body more. I might allow for some really mini goals.. but i'm trying to steer away from the scale being so important. i want to look and feel good and have definition and strength.
Before i started this recent leg of my weightloss journey, i always wanted to be 165. Not sure why..but i guess it seemed unattainable to me. once the lbs started coming off.. being a size 8 was my next desire. I didn't put a weight on that goal.. just knew i wanted to be a size 8. I realize now that i can totally be a size 8 without being 145.. and should never have focused on a weight goal. I did gain about 3 lbs this past month or so.. but i'm still a size 10. I wasn't a size 10 when i first got to 166. So i know i'm smaller than i was back then... which is leading me back to my original goal of being a size more than a weight.
that being said... i'm getting with one of my girlfriends, a personal trainer at lifestyles, and she's creating me a new workout routine that will help me isolate and shape up specific parts of my body. it should also help me kick off these lost 11.9 lbs.
I feel a little bit of pressure off now that 20 lbs isn't at stake. so now to figure out some new mini goals and take it from there :)
Today i got to 1300 calories, up 100 from my usual. i'm getting there lol

I like your new attitude much better! I am leaning towards shape-based goals myself. I know I am gaining muscle, and the fat loss is probably more than what the scale is showing, so I don't know why the scale bothers me so much! Good luck in your new goals, Naiomy!!

Where's the "like" button??? I "like" this!!! Actually I "love" this!!! Congratulations! You figured it out :) Your size isn't linearly related to your weight! Now make sure you take measurements so you can satisfy your desire to see progress in the numbers even if your weight bounces around a bit. I think this is just great. Best luck to you in your new plan!!!

thank you erin!! i like this attitude better too lol.. @k8 - i have some measurements from a month ago.. so i think next week i'll try to measure again to see where i am. i want to try to keep my weight in check to a certain extent which is why i did still keep a goal that is weight based, but yeah.. i'm tired of being scared of really pushing the muscle growth for fear of gaining .. that's dumb! lol.. muscle burns fat and i love seeing definition! my body has already improved by leaps and bounds and i've trivialized it so much by making it about the number on the scale. i'm done with that and no more crying over a stupid pound..lol.. i needed to go thru that to realize how unhealthy i was really becoming mentally and emotionally ... i plan to make my mini goals VERY mini.. like 2 lbs at a time. just something to shoot for.. lol

I'm a big fan of Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz says, "Waist instead of weight."

I have to agree with you on the size versus weight. I don't care about the weight I just want to be a size 8 as well. I would love a 6 but lets be reasonable ( four kids ) it's probably not going to happen. I am glad you have a new goal and I hope this works for you!! Good luck!

I love this attitude! You are going to feel so much better now that you're not placing all of this un-needed pressure on yourself. I like Johanne's comment too; "Waist instead of weight.". It's a great motto!

lol... thank you ladies!... last night i busted out the 45 mins of cardio and went straight for the weights and weight machines. i love just knowing in a few months my body will start looking amazing. i already have some definition from what i've been doing and now i feel more comfortable pushing it harder and focusing on building. guess it makes sense to be happy with how i look more than what the scale says... I HAVE EXORCIIIIIISED THE DEMONS lol

Good for you Naiomy! :) I'm so happy that you want to change your body composition more than the number on a scale. Yay you! :)
