What's my goal?

I know that I need to get on here and state my goal.  What is my mission?  What do I want to achieve?  How will I know when I'm done?  Will I ever be done? 

Well, let's see.  At this time, the ultimate weight goal that I have is too far away and in my mind, too unrealistic to even think about achieving.  So, I need to look at a smaller goal and then go from there...

My most immediate goal is to feel better.  I am so freaking uncomfortable.  My chiropractor said that for every 10 pounds you lose you are taking 5 times that amount of weight off of your joints.  How awesome is that???  I know that just my small changes will do wonders with how I feel.  Here are some of my small changes:

• 2 Dr. Peppers a day - this is a change from 5 to 6 a day.
• NO Bojangle stops in the am - I love a good biscuit and sweet tea...and also a Bo-berry Biscuit.
• No snacking at night...this is very hard - a trait I totally get from my dad...LOL.  I am trying to substitute snacks with water.
• I have been packing my lunch....instead of sandwiches on bread, I have been putting it on a tortilla shell and using salsa to dip. 
• When dinner is over, I clean up right away....instead of grazing the hour after dinner.

I know, I know....I will need to do more than that get to my long term goal....but it is a start to get some basic weight gone.

I am going to go to the gym tomorrow and get some walking in.  I'll let you know how that goes.  Tomorrow night is taco night at the Crawford house.  We have NOTHING to do...which is a change.  YAY!  Lots of family time :-)

So, what's my goal?  By the last day of school - June 5th.......

• I want to be able to wear a 2XL t-shirt comfortably.
• Lose 40 pounds.  That is 18 weeks away.
• Pack up all 3CL t-shirts and put them away!

Totally do-able...right??!!  RIGHT!
