So far I have lost about 87 lbs. I am only 13 lbs. away from 100 lbs. AND only 24 lbs. away from finally being under 300. My current weight for the week is 323 lbs. That first goal is so close I can feel it. It is within my reach.
The more I think about it, the more excited I get. Last week I lost 7.5 lbs. I have four weeks to lose 13 lbs. to reach my first goal. But if I can lose 7.5 lbs. in a week, and 6 and 7 lbs. in recent weeks I am going for the 24 lbs. mark. I am really going to push myself these next few weeks to not only lose 100 lbs. by my birthday, but to be under 300 lbs. by June 15.
I want that feeling so bad. That feeling of accomplishment, that feeling of success, that feeling of pride. I have wanted this for so long and I finally believe I can do it.
Now I want to start walking. I want to start running. I want to get out there and start moving. I have to be reasonable about this. Yes, I am probably in the best shape of my life so far. That does not mean that I am ready to run a marathon tomorrow. I want to make a plan. I need to map it out. I want to look into the distance around my neighborhood and also down Ocean Drive. I would like to find out the distance from the TAMUCC parking lotto the art museum. I guess I could look it up online or go for a drive.
I am not sure how my knees are going to hold up, but I want to at least try. And with summer just around the corner, the weather will be intense. So take a cap and some sunscreen. I would also like to invest in a nice pair of running shoes.
So these are my new goals. I have been psyching myself up lately about going for it all. I've been telling friends at work that I'm not going to just try and lose 13 lbs. to reach 100 lbs., I am going for the big prize. On June 15, 2010, I WILL be under 300 lbs.!
