Today!  It finally happened today.  Last Sunday I indulged in a beautiful spread of food and watched Seahawks win.  It took all week to lose the two pounds I gained from my game day diet, and finally I am back down to 140.  Back down to one more pound to go until I'm in the 30's.  I can't wait to say goodbye to the 140's!
  I learned years ago from some class I took how important it is to focus on short term goals, in order to ultimately achieve an long-term goal.  I can't get all focused about the fact that I have lost 26 pounds this year and I'm trying to lose 4-6 more.  It feels tiring!  I feel like I am at the end of a long, challenging run and I'm tempted to start walking and congratulate myself for what I have accomplished so far.  I am tempted to quit and give myself an excuse.
I can't do that!  I have to ignore the big picture.  I am looking at one pound right now.  It is crucial that I just think about losing this one pound this week.  Even though the Seahawks play tomorrow. Even though I have already came so far and a friend of mine said I look great and don't even need to lose anymore weight.  I have to block all that out, and lose this one pound this week.  Short term goals are the key to a healthy BMI!
Good luck to all my fellow sports and food fans out there this weekend!
