SJ - scales suck 
I can vary by 2kgs in a day easily so while I do pay attention to the number, I go more by how I feel first, how my clothes fit second and then the number on the pesky scale. Good for you for getting out and doing stuff every day no matter what the machine says!
I've had some slack days lately (again LOL) but doing better and staying focused on some aspects of my life, so I'm still putting it in the win column. And I've revised my curent goal list so thought I'd put it here - you can help keep me honest! I've been doing this Goodbye Hello form for a while now and I'm finding it a pretty positive addition to my toolkit - and several friends who haven't been able to stick to plans or goals before are rockin' it.
Short term - by end March:
- goodbye 63kgs. I never want to see you again (and ps, universe, I want to be UNDER it not over it LOL).
- goodbye pile of personal paperwork I've been putting off.
- hello Africa shorts! Right now they are too tight and I want to be able to wear them again.
- hello renewed old friend. I want to reconnect with someone I used to be friends with & start spending time with her again.
Mid term - by end of April:
- goodbye fat jeans! I want to have these be baggy & ready for the donation pile.
- goodbye overstuffed office closet. It's past time for another good clean out & I'm giving myself plenty of time to do it right.
- hello arm & upper body strength. I want to be able to relatively pain free again & this only comes when my arms, shoulders & back are strong. Will be working slowly to rebuild and think giving myself a couple of months to reach the first goal is safe.
- hello black & white flowy dress I've never worn. Not only do I want it to fit beautifully, I want to go out and wear it!
- hello yoga! I want to be doing yoga either in studio or on my own at least three times a week.
Long term - by end of June:
- goodbye fat clothes. I want to have a nice big pile of clothes that fit now ready to be donated.
- hello happy weight/size. My "happy" weight as of about 5/6 years ago was 57kgs. I'm guessing that I'll be where I feel the best at maybe a kg or two heavier than that now that I'm a little older, so this is a little bit of a floating number for me - I'm putting down 58kgs but I'm not locked in to that number. I'm more locked in to feeling strong and lean - so if that's at 60, fine, if it's not until 56, fine, too.
Keep up the good work, All!
