failure...-32.6

Not sure if you've noticed, but I tend to disappear on the blog when I fail to meet my goals. I did not meet my DietBet goal, regardless of how close I was.

I keep doing this to myself. I'm doing great, getting close to a goal, and then I either hype myself up, or just stop paying attention/going hard, and I don't meet my goal. In the past 6 months or so, I've set 7 goals for myself that I've failed. 

Whenever I think about failing, I go back to this quote by Michael Jordan. I had this on a poster in my  bedroom growing up and it has inspired me so much ever since.

Looking at my next goal, I'm focusing on the Biggest Loser competition that I'm running at my job. The contest ends in 4 weeks and I'm determined to break through that -40 benchmark. My overall goal is to be down -41.1, which would make my weight loss for the competition 12.5 pounds. Therefore, I've got 4 weeks to lose 8.5 pounds, or about 2.2 pounds a week. 

I'm hoping going to make this goal the one that I meet. 

See you next week!
