How am I progressing at my goals?

1. Goal weight is 135. I have lost 13.8 of the 44.8 pounds I need to lose.  31% done!  :)

2. Have a BMI below 25.  Lost 2.3 of the 5.4 points I need to lose.  43% done!

3. Have a body fat percentage below 24%.  I started at an estimated 42% and am now down to 34%.  Lost 8% of 18% I need to lose.  44% done!  Also, for women between the age of 18-39, the healthy body fat percentage range is between 21-33% - I'm almost there!

4. To be physically fit.   Last week I felt sick all week.  My workouts suffered...as in, were non-existent.  I need to get back on track.

5. To feel comfortable in my clothes.  This is such a great improvement.  :)

6. To look decent in a swimsuit and lingerie. This is getting so much better!

7. To have enough energy/stamina to play actively, for a prolonged amount of time, with my kids.  This has improved tremendously - I'm loving that!

8. Spiritual Discipline: Trying to make sure I find time every day for some spiritual growth.

9. Be content in all circumstances.  I would like to think I've been much more positive this week.  :) 

10. Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night, preferrably consecutive hours.   This has been terrible.  I haven't gotten enough sleep any night this week.  Between kids getting up during the night and me staying up too late - it's just been sub-par.  It's just so hard to go to bed when there's still daylight out there!  I find myself tinkering in the garden after I should have already been on my way to bed. 

I am so grateful and blessed to be on this journey!  Loving it!  Thank you for sharing it with me!
