I think my thirty day goal of not eating any desserts for the month of May 2007 is working. I’m actually down a few pounds from April. If you recall, April was the first month in five months that I didn’t lose at least 4 pounds. Now that I have made the conscientious goal of refraining from that after dinner delight called “dessert” I am finding myself able to “go hungry” for longer.
It’s not that I “couldn’t” go hungry for an extended period of time, it’s just that it wasn’t at the front of my memory. My thirty day goals tend to bring out the best – simply because I know that after thirty days I can toss them out if I want, like the sit ups and push ups I had to do for March and April of this year. I’m sure I will add those back into my routine, just not with the daily monotony that I scheduled them to be.
If you have been reading this online weight loss diary of mine for any length of time, you realize that I am big on having goals. Not just any goals, but ones that are specific and measurable AND public for the same reasons mentioned as number 27 here – accountability.
What’s your goal?
