New Weight Loss Goal

With just shy of 10 weeks 'til the new year, I'm setting my new weight loss goal. I'm setting the mark for 10 pounds in 10 weeks. I know that seems to be a lofty goal thru the holiday season, but I figure if I shoot for the moon, I might just land on a star! Keeping sight of my long-term goals during the holiday season is a good way to stay on target. My goal is to be at my ideal weight - 125 pounds, give or take 10 pounds - by Mother's Day. My main goal is to be at the weight God has for me, whatever weight that happens to be, and to maintain that weight for life. I know that when I've been 125 pounds, that's when I've felt my best, physically and energetically. I'm tired of yo-yoing back and forth between too heavy and too thin. I want to finally reach my body's set point and stay there. So, part of reaching this long-term goal is to keep setting these short-term goals, like losing 10 in 10. It's okay if I don't quite make it, as long as I do my best to strive toward the mark. My mind set is to hit the mark, not just try! So, I spent part of the day yesterday devising a plan for the holidays, specifically meal planning. I want to stay on my raw food diet, so I did some research and found 16 pages of raw food recipes specifically dedicated to Thanksgiving. I can stuff myself like the proverbial turkey if I so desire on such raw delectables as mock turkey loaf with cranberry sauce and herbed mashed "potatoes" with mushroom gravy. There's even pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. Believe it or not I found a recipe for a living lasagna for Christmas dinner! Lasagna is my all-time favorite meal, and with this recipe I'm set. Anyone can stick to their wellness goals throughout the holiday season, it just takes a little planning, some goal setting, and resolution.
