Everybody Needs a Goad

Saturday, September 26, 2009
So I was chatting on IM with Hot Chick Jeri yesterday, and she was congratulating me on my success with Weight Watchers. We were talking about how it's important to set reasonable goals in our health and weight loss efforts, except my mad typing skillz made my comment come out "That sounds like a reasonable goad."

Well.

Since we both like to laugh, we of course started to describe how "everybody needs a goad" and then describing our "goads." I won't share Jeri's goad, but I'll share mine. It's this dress:


This is a Ralph Lauren, and I haven't been able to wear it in some time. It's hard to see what it actually looks like on the hanger, so here it is the last time I was able to wear it:


This is one awesome dress, and I can't wait to wear it again. ROWWR.

Very nice. Excellent goal.

For me, the key to weight loss was tracking everything I ate. It's easy to think that it's just an apple, but if you're putting it in your mouth, it's probably at least 100 calories. Once I started tracking all of the little things, it was easy to see what I needed to cut.

That is a totally lovely dress - and you look incredibly hot in it. :) Nice goad!

And, thank you for not sharing mine. ROFL

You know, I probably need a negative goad, not a positive one. Something along the lines of a cattle prod, methinks. That and a bionic back, so exercise becomes possible.

As for the picture of you in your goad -- HAWT!

ROWWR indeed! And congrats on the progress you've made.

Megan, that's one of the reasons I think I'm being successful with WW. There are no freebies.

What a gorgeous dress, perfect for a hot chick like yourself!

I think I need to find my own goad.

Would that be "goad" to get to your goal?

Janiece said...

Exactly.
