I decided to change my goal weight today, rather than attain my initial goal of 20 lbs. and then start on a new goal.

I feel good about this decision. This means I am almost half way to my new goal.

I feel more genuine doing it this way. When I first started on this site, I wanted to put a manageable goal. Over the past few weeks, though, I have been really impressed with people that set one main goal and then work toward mini-goals. I don't want to see my color bar approaching "goal" weight when I always knew I needed to lose more than that initial 20 lbs.

So, with that in mind, my next short-term goal is to lose that first 20 lbs. (I have 6.5 lbs. to go) by my physical on June 13th. I set my first short-term goal to losing 12 lbs. by Easter (which was 11 weeks from when I started on Fat Secret). I reached that goal on the nose 2 days before Easter.

I am visiting my dad in L.A. and siblings in Monterey in 3 weeks, so I am really going to try to manage that 5 day trip as well as I've managed the holidays and my anniversary getaway.

Thanks for listening.
