Next set of 3 month goals

July 3rd was my target for this round of 3 month goals. Did I meet my 3 month goal? Well I weighed in at 261 lbs this morning @ 33.9% BF. I met my weight goal for the past 3 months, but my BF % was not even close. The only thing that can mean is that my LBM has dropped, which is very bad. But like any BFFM'er knows, they are just results so we adjust and move on. So here are my goals for the next 3 months:

• I no longer live for my cheat meals. I have been cheat free for the past 3 months. My results have been amazing!
• The base of my success has been consistently following my weight program over the past 3 months!
• Someone at work asked me what I am doing to achieve such awesome results.
• My daily and weekly goals have become the cornerstone of my success.
• It felt so great to ride the Superman at Darien Lake! I know I'll never be in the position that I was in last summer!
• It is 10/2/2006 and my BF is < 29%
  
• It is 10/2/2006 and I weigh less than 245 lbs!
• I feel great since I weigh less than I did when I got married!
• I will be the example for my wife and daughter to follow in their fitness journey.

I am going to focus on a consistent weight routine. This has been lacking and my drop in LBM is the result. I am going to up my cals to 2500 per day to also help with the LBM loss (this will put me right at 20% below TDEE). My other focus is I am going to avoid cheat meals for the next three months. Karl inspired me to do this (check out his link) in order to gain control over food. There are certain foods that are trigger foods for me such as dark chocolate, chips, cookies, sugar, fried foods, pizza etc. I will eat none of these foods over the next 3 months. I want to be the one in control. This won't be for the rest of my life, but I am going to show who is boss!

I had a great vacation last week. Took the family to meet my brother, sister, and mom in VA. It was nice to get away, and I still managed to eat well during vacation. How did I say no to the M&M's, ice cream, s'mores, cake, chocolate, pop tarts, etc. etc. etc.? I set my goals for the next 3 months before I left! I also knew I had to weigh in when I got back to see how I did for my previous set of goals. When you know where you want to go, it is a lot easier to get there! It is pretty easy to say no when you have a picture in your mind of where you want to be 3 months from now. Of course some people think I am crazy, but I know in 3 months I will have the results that I want.

Where will you be 3 months from now? Will you be closer to your goals? Do you even know what your goals are? Maybe your goals seem impossible? Picture it in your head as already being achived, and keep in mind the journey has to start somewhere.
