I hit a personal goal today. Anyone else working on a cool goal?

So this was the last day of a fitness/slim-down challenge my extended family and I have been on since January getting ready for a wedding.

This was a SMART (Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant) goal and had a positive result because of it.  

We would weigh ourselves every Sunday and report via group text.  Winner of the week gets $5. Winner for the month  $10. Winner overall $40.  Rewading wins during the process help us attain our goal.  

I lost 25.6 lbs net and won. I was also the heaviest to begin with, but saw great progress in the amount of pull-ups, dips and push ups I can now do as well.

My next goal is to be a happier and more patient person.  Hard to measure, but gotta try.  I am listening to and doing the tasks of Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor.  We find what we seek.  Seek the good.

What are you working on?  Any wins to share?
