Middle of The Year Means Redefining Goals
11 Jun
As my half birthday unceremoniously passed on June 6th, I realized the middle of the year is a good time to reflect on what I have accomplished, reflect on what I haven’t accomplished, and redefine my goals for the rest of the year.
What I have accomplished:
Around November of last year, I was first introduced to the paleo diet. I bought the books, did a bunch of reading, and really tried to gain an understand of what it all meant. I decided that starting in January I would commit full time to the paleo lifestyle. My first weigh in had me tipping the scales at 249 pounds. Not acceptable. However, I did my best to stay 100% committed for as long as I could, and after several months I was down to as low as 222 pounds. Not too shabby! I was, and continue to be, proud of this accomplishment.
What I haven’t accomplished:
Life is stressful. Staying paleo all the time is not easy. When you have no one else to do it with, it is even harder to stay on the path. What I haven’t accomplished, for the last couple months at least, is staying on the 80/20 plan (eating paleo at least 80% of the time). It has been more like 60/40. I’m currently clocking in at 226.5 pounds. I’m still thrilled I’m no longer 249, but one can’t help but think where I would be if I had been at 100% for six solid months.
My goals for the rest of the year:
I have two goals for the rest of 2010, and I think they are achievable .
1. Get under 220 pounds by the end of June.
2. Get to under 200 pounds by the end of the year.
These are both doable, and I can’t wait to share with you when I have reached them.
