Time to be honest: I'm not as proud of myself as I should be. I'm supposed to be the example. Closer to athletic. I would love to be 12-15% body fat, no matter what weight that should take me to. At that point, I would have much greater definition in my abs, rather than the top portion that just shows now. Proof of the hard work I'm capable of. Proof that I fuel my body right. Nutrition is a huge part of lowering your body fat percentage.
By the end of August, I want to lose at least 5% body fat. That is my personal goal. To attain it, I will try to eat around 1500 calories a day, with a good balance of lean protein, healthy fat, and complex carbohydrates. If I slip up one day, fine. I'm human. If there's a party, I won't deprive myself, but I won't go overboard.
I need motivation just as much as the next person. This is my goal and this is my confession of it.
Don't hide your goals in your head. State them, and don't be afraid. An unstated failed goal goes unnoticed but also without support. State your goal, find your support, and take action. That is the first step.
