Just dreamin...and hoping...and wishing...

So I am officially 5 days into this journey. It has actually been better than I thought...but then again, I am only on day 5. I am really getting my water in...and I have tracked every day. Yahoo me. Small goals.  I am not yet doing anything crazy--like giving up my Diet Dr. Pepper---but at least that is not the only thing I drink in a day.

I started thinking about goals for myself. If I think only about numbers--it really gets intimidating. For instance, if I say, "How about 30lbs?" that only takes me down to the weight that I started at for my last weight-loss adventure...and that thought really sucks.

So instead of numbers, I have been thinking about other things--like these:

1.I would like a butt. Right now, I just have legs that run into my back. My hubby likes butts. I like butts, I cannot lie. (....try to read that without singing a little baby got back...can't do it, can you?)

2. I want to be able to wear a button up shirt. It used to be that the problem with button up shirts was only my boobs. Now it has become my boobs and my belly. Awesome.

3. Speaking of shirts, I would like to tuck mine in. And wear a belt when I do that. Or just wear a belt in general.

4. I would like my sizes to be in single digits. Even if it is a high single digit--as long as there is only one of them.

5. I want to cut my hair. Short. Like pixie short. Pixie looks good when you have cheek bones. Right now, I have a whole lotta cheek...but not much bone showing.

6. I want to be able to wear my wedding ring. A few years ago I stopped wearing my ring because it was slightly uncomfortable on my growing fingers. Now I am not even sure I could get it on. This year I will be married 10 years. I am proud of my marriage and want my hand to reflect it.

7. I have always wanted to a boudoir shoot. For my husband. 10 years seems like a great time to do it.

So those are the types of things I think about when I think about losing weight. Right now I am really trying hard to not focus on what the scale says--just focus on making healthy lifestyle changes...and knowing if I do that...my wishlist just might become a reality.

Welp, better go fill up my water.
