Do You Know Where You’re Going?

“The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.” – Malcom X

Today at the meeting, we used storyboarding as a way to see how to reach our goals.  It’s taken me 2 months and 3 weeks to lose 11.8 lbs.  That seems a ridiculously long time to lose so little, considering how well my friend has done.  Except, I don’t see it that way all the time.  Most of the time, I see it as “I know who I am and I know what I’m doing and where I am going and it may take me longer to get there, but get there I will!”

When you joing WW (or at least the time before this that I joined), you set a goal at your first meeting.  I never did.  Well, I guess that’s not true.  I guess I just never used the words “my goal is…” but it was my ambition to go every week, rain or shine, no matter how bad I did and weigh in and accept the consequences.  And I have.  But today, considering what I did over the last two days, I went in expecting the worst.  And instead I got the best, I lost 1.2 lbs!  Now, 0.4 of that was make-up for last week.  But I still lost weight!!!  So instead of my usual “oh this is so corny I’m not doing it” attitude that I have when we have a worksheet meeting, I did it.  And I set my first goal, and wrote down the steps to reach it.

I am going to get there!
