Short Term Goals Feed the Long Term Goals

Last week, while we were on a walk, my husband and I talked about making a more long term weigh-loss goal for the next 5 months. We both want to lose 30 pounds by September.


Short term (like monthly goals) are helpful, but when paired or tied in with a longer term goal, I believe that is even more helpful. It helps to know that what I’m doing today isn’t just for this month’s goal, but will contribute to my goal weight for September. 

Since I am around 230 pounds now, my goal weight for September is 200 pounds. I would absolutely love to see that happen, and I’m going to stay focused on this goal, with the help of this blog, and my husband.

When I think of losing 30 more pounds (I lost 10 pounds last month) I get excited! I think about how it will feel physically. Even more important, I think about the health that I will gain from shedding this unnecessary weight. The weight that is holding me back, and putting my God-given good health in jeopardy. I don’t want to risk my health any longer. I want to treat my body well, and appreciate what I have been gifted by taking better care of it.
