Pre-Season Task - Set Your Goals

Time for those updated goals again. The end weight hasn't changed all that much, but the time frame and the realistic-ness of it has. I'm pretty happy with the weight lost in my first round, but feel like I could definitely have done better in my second round. Midn you... it was over Christmas. 

Anyway, another 6.5kgs to lose this round. It's going to be hard, but I can do it!

Revisiting My Goals

Time to take another look at my goals and update for the last 4 weeks of this round. I think I need to set more realistic goals as I haven't really met any of them. If you look at my current weight I haven't lost anything since the end of last round. I do feel a LOT fitter though, and Christmas has been in the middle. The lightest I've been this round (for one day!) was 79.5. Other than that I've mainly floated around the 81 mark with a couple of leaps back up into 83. Need to keep focussed for this last three weeks and I think I can get properly into under 80s. And then I'm signing up for another round to try get to my real goal weight.

Pre-Season Task: Set Your Goals

New round = new goals...

Weight Goals

	TIME	DATE	WEIGHT	INCREMENTAL	TOTAL	REWARD
Current Weight		1 Nov 2013	81.7
First Weigh In	1.5 Weeks	11 Nov 2013	<80	-2	-2	Heart rate monitor
Week 6 Weigh In (Before Xmas)	6 Weeks	18 Dec 2013	<74	-6	-8	New clothes for xmas
Week 9 Weigh In (After Xmas)	3 Weeks	8 Jan 2014	<76	+2	-6	Book awesome anniversary trip
End of Round	3 Weeks	2 Feb 2014	<72	-4	-10	New wardrobe for anniversary trip

And here's how I am going to achieve these goals:

• Plan my food and exercise weekly, then stick to my plan
• Limit my red flag days where possible, and where not possible - be sensible!
• Stick to exercise plan over xmas and don't indulge too often - be sensible!
• Control the voice in my head which justifies diversions from the plan - don't let it control me!
• JFDI!

Other Goals

By the end of the round:

• 30 pushups on my toes
• 4min plank on my toes
• Sub 4m 30s 1km run
• Complete the Manly Dam 10.2 km trail run in Dec, Jan and Feb, and beat my time each time
• Be feeling like I gave it 100% and I am happy with what I have achieved - not just good enough but amazing!

Updated Goals

Only 4 weeks left, and I don't think my original goals are doable, so I have reset them. I'm not happy I haven't met them, but know exactly why - I haven't given this my all! I've done ok, but not as well as I could have. Four weeks left, and I really want to do this. I want to be feeling amazing at the group workout at the end, not just "I'm better than what I was".
