Thank you bunny. Looking forward to finishing our conversation and hearing more about what you think of the cool WW tools! Also talking about mini-goals. Do you have your set? One of the boards I'm on has a constant challenge going. Right now it's from 1/1 - 2/15. My goal is to hit my 10% mark. That's only 4 more pounds to go! What's your current goal?

This is what I know so far: my biggest goal isn't focused purely on weight: it's about shifting habits and body mass. I expect my weight to go up for about 3 weeks before it goes down.

Over the fall, I lost a few pounds of fat and shifted my eating from crappy to moderately bad. i kept my cardio workouts at a low but steady pace but couldn't maintain weight training.

Now, I want to shift my eating from moderately bad to quite healthy, and add regular weights back in to my routine. I also want to take the cardio from 3X a week to 4-5x a week.

In terms of weight, I'm looking at a loss of about 10-12 lbs, while adding muscle to my frame.

So:

Goal 1 (a process goal): Learn to track again and incorporate it into my life so I remain awake and aware of my eating and exercising choices

Goal 2: (another process goal): Add consistent weights back into my routine

Goal 3: (an outcome goal) Drop 2 lbs on the scale within the next 3 weeks while being able to see a visible difference in added muscle mass in my arms and shoulders (where muscle shows up first on my body).

Goal 4: (a process & outcome goal) Start feeling physically GREAT most of the time!

Goal 5: keep on loving myself and my beautiful, happy body as it is *right now* and as it becomes through exercise and healthy eating :)
