Joy in the Little Things

I was going to write this post in the smallest print possible, but i would probably be the only one that would think that is funny. Besides, what would be the point if no one could read it? Maybe to say that i did? That would definitely bring me joy. I have never been much of a writer, as you probably can tell, but i do find joy in setting a goal and keeping to it. The goal can be big or small. There have been sometimes that i put off smaller goals to make room for big ones. I have come to realize that I need small goals to make big goals possible.

Recently i have been trying to lose weight so i can join the Air Force. I have to get down to the weight of 215 to be able to join. At the beginning of December (2103) I weighed 290. I was working hard and focusing to get my weight down by running every day and eating right. Things fell apart though when Christmas hit. I knocked my weight down to 275 and i was proud so i let myself take the day off. that day turned into 2 weeks. Then i started feeling discouraged, because i was looking at the big picture of the immaculate 60 pounds i have to lose. This still plagues me as of now.

Starting tomorrow i am going to try and lose 5 pounds a week from now until April 20th. I know your what your thinking, that's not enough weeks to lose 60 pounds. Well here is the hook, lets say this upcoming week i lose 8 pounds, i have to lose that same amount the next week.

So hopefully i can make it to my goal of 215. I will keep following up during the week with pictures of my progress.

You may be wondering why the title was Joy in the little things? Well, hopefully i will be a little thing by April, and you can find joy in me! "I am so funny" ha ha
