Setting intentions is an important tool for achieving goals.
In my weight-loss journey, I had set a new goal for myself: 140 lbs.
I am officially 11 pounds away, and I have a renewed sense of determination. With this renewed feeling, it is necessary to reestablish my intentions.
For these last 11 pounds before I head into maintenance, I WILL to do the following:
-- Stick to a solid, healthy diet. Goal: 1200-1400 calories/daily
-- Gym workouts twice a week, either M.W or T.TH
[Gym workouts to combine a minimum of 20-30 min cardio with 15-20 min muscle group focus]
--Yoga workout once a week on Saturday or Sunday mornings
-- Increase water intake, decrease Diet Coke intake
[currently drinking 1 can of Diet Coke a day, limit to 1 can every other day]
-- Stay positive, happy, and healthy
[tell yourself you are beautiful and capable every. single. day.]
I think it's vital to say that my last intention is my most important intention. I think I have said previously that I used self-hatred to motivate myself in the past, and I am ready to put that mindset behind me. I want to reach my goal while also loving my body.
Now that I've set my intentions, what are yours?
Write them down... on a post-it, in your journal, in your phone, on a receipt...anywhere! Keep them to yourself or share them with a friend. Either way, write them down, and remember to stay focused and motivated. Refer to these intentions daily to remind yourself of your goals.
And stay positive!
