Summer Break Goals

Now that almost a full month of summer break is done, I thought it might be a good idea to set some goals for myself. ;) Last summer I didn't start until July and was able to lose 20 pounds. I would love to lose another 20 pounds this summer, but this is the goal I set for myself instead...

If I could get to 177.5, that would be my halfway to my final weight goal (the higher end of my final weight loss range). That is only about 11.5 pounds from where I am now. My goal is to get to this weight by August 20th. That is my first day back at work and would be a lovely day to celebrate such a goal. If I happen to lose more weight than that by then, I'd be okay with that too.

I have set up several rewards for reaching this goal and some smaller ones along the way which you can see on my goals page. My big reward for reaching the goal of 177.5 or halfway to my goal weight will be season seven of House on DVD. I will take a few hours to relax and watch some of my favorite episodes from the season.

This is the season of the Huddy hookup!

I will also allow myself a mini shopping spree for some new clothes and/or shoes for work. I'll go through what I have and see what holes need to be filled wardrobe wise. It would be a great time to do this with all the back to school sales! My sketcher mary jane style shape ups that I have in black and brown are worn out from last year, so I'd love to replace them.

They even have holes worn into the inside heel part of the shoe!

I've been in a bit of a slump throughout June with barely losing any weight. I hope this along with going back to basics with my eating plan will help me to get back on track to weight loss land.
