Working on the goals I would like to achieve

So last night I sat down and worked out what my short and long term goals will be.
Ideally by the time I have done the 12 week program I would like to have shed 12 kilos.
I think working on 1 kilo a week is good for me at this stage.
I also have some fitness goals, I would like to be able to walk 5kms without it being painful to breath. I would like to have introduced short runs into my walk of 5kms.
I think these goals are totally attainable if I put my heart and soul into the program.

My goal for 12 months time is to have lost 50 kilos. This will take me to my total end goal and should put me within a healthy weight range.
I would also like to be walking 10kms with longer runs by this time as well.

I am going to break my total goal down into blocks of 5 kilos. I am going to reward myself at each 5 kilo goal reached with things like facials, massages etc.

I still need to work on task 2 which is about excuses. I am finding this task really confronting. I need to just get everything out on the table and be accountable for it. I need to get rid of the excuses and be totally honest with myself. I can't move forward with this journey whilst I am using these excuses.

The program starts on 12th September and I need to have worked this all out by then. I am going to have all this down in writing and I am going to give my list of excuses to my husband. I want him to pull me up when I use an excuse.

Even though the program starts in 3 weeks, I am trying to make healthier choices. This week will be a challenge. Tonight I am out for Thai and Wednesday I am out for Mexican. This is quite unusual for me as I don't normally go out socialising during the week, these two things have popped up and so I will just have to try my absolute best to make healthy choices. I am thinking tonight I will have a soup and a thai beef salad. I will have to check out the menu for dinner on Wednesday night as I haven't eaten at this particular restaurant before and I want to be prepared.

Okay off to have a look at my excuses and wys to overcome them.
