A little while ago i posted this Jan 4th, 2023: Micro Goals – Run Fat Boy. My first goal was to reach 115 kg, and the way i think is that i need to surpass that number before i see it as achieved. Micro goals are small, specific and measurable targets that can help people and specifically me, achieve larger goals, such as weight loss. Setting micro goals can be beneficial because they can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation, as well as help track progress and stay on track.
Weigh in today happened twice. I woke up got the kids ready and to school, i slept really badly last night and feel asleep late and woke up early so i was completely groggy and not with it.
When i weighed in first of all i was 115.2 kg which was -0.2 kg from yesterday.
After the school run i was still sore and tired from everything the day before, so i decided to recover in the Sauna blanket for an hour.
After that time i decided to weigh in again and i was 114.6 -0.6kg from earlier and -0.8 kg from yesterday.
One benefit of setting micro goals for weight loss is that they can help people break down their larger goal into manageable steps. For example, instead of setting a goal to lose 25 kg, I set a series of micro goals such as losing 5 KG in each phase. This can make the goal of weight loss less daunting and more achievable. And trust me weight loss is hard work, its depressing at points, and certainly my mental health is often impacted by it.
Another benefit of micro goals is that they can help me stay focused and motivated. When i set a goal and then achieve it, i feel a sense of accomplishment and more likely to continue working towards my larger goal. Additionally, by setting micro goals, i can track progress and see how far i have come, which can be a powerful motivator.
However, there are also some concerns with using micro goals for weight loss. One concern is that i may become too focused on achieving their micro goals, and neglect the bigger picture, i am very self deprecating on myself these days, and thats come from elements in my life over years. Another concern is that i become too fixated on achieving their micro goals, and become discouraged if i don’t achieve them as quickly as i had hoped.
Micro goals can be a powerful tool for weight loss, as they can help me break down my larger goal into manageable steps, stay focused and motivated, and track my progress. However, it was important to set realistic goals, and not to get too fixated on achieving them, and keep the big picture in mind.
Anyway, first micro goal is met, and i hope i just dont rebound above it again over the next few days!
Night folks
