Magic?
I know many of you, like me, set goals for yourself. Right now, my next goal is to get under 200#. For me, 199 is the magic number.
Will I feel different? Look better? Feel healthier? Or will it just be like celebrating another birthday where I wake up in the morning and feel exactly the same as I did yesterday?
Most likely, I'll feel exactly the same and yet, 199 is so exciting to me at this point in weight loss. I think I can accomplish that goal this month, February. The anticipation of it is like Christmas Eve as a child. It is magical and full of glitter and sparkles.
I haven't been at that particular magical weight in over 6 years. In reality, I know I won't feel any different but when the day comes, I will celebrate. I will celebrate this victory as if I am running for my life. In many ways, this is dependent on keeping my quality of life the best it can be.
199 will help me keep high blood pressure at bay. It will help me keep my blood sugars in a healthy range. It will decrease the stress on my joints further and help me increase my endurance. My state of mind and my confidence will improve. 199 isn't my goal weight but it is the next big milestone.
Tell me about your magic number and how it makes you feel. What will you do to celebrate when you get there? Can you just feel the success?
I challenge each of you to really take a minute to think about what that success will feel like and to visualize yourself accomplishing that next goal.
Peace and blessings to each of you.
