Weigh in and stuff

[Guest guest]

Hey buds!

Well the scale said 212 again today but that's ok because at least it

didn't go up anymore! I'm frustrated with my heels hurting. They

haven't been like this in years! I'm doing all the things I did before

so guess just have to keep doing them and hope they feel better soon.

It's frustrating because we have had gorgeous weather all week and I

wanted to go for walks but didn't dare with them hurting. At least I

did get to the gym twice and did pretty good there and have been busy

with housework when home and had bowling and been doing some stuff

while watching tv at night so it's not like I haven't been exercising

or active. Just not able to do what I want to.. Oh well this will pass.

I think they are getting better. Just have to be patient.

We still don't know if we have a team for bowling but there were some

other people who needed more people so we are going to show up and see

tonight. I have to leave early because my friend , Mike's office

manager with the dog that had the puppies back in June. Well Chevy, the

mama dog hurt her eye last week and it's not getting better so I'm

going to bring her to the office for so she can take her to the

vet. I go pick up Mike's check and go to the bank and stuff so it's no

prob bringing Chevy too. That and I have to stop by the post office. I

ordered some supps and am hoping they will be here today. Then I have

to head in to the bowling alley so I'll be gone all afternoon and

evening.

So I guess for those who want to we will make Monday or Friday,

whichever you prefer, weigh in days. I have every intention of

reporting some loss from now on!!! I was looking back on my treadmill

log, I make other notations there too and it has been 2 years now that

I have been between 200-216, I'm 212 right now. While I am glad I have

not gained any more back then that it still makes me mad at myself. I

lost a lot I know, was 284 but enough is enough!!! I still have a long

ways to go and really want to get it going again! Like I said earlier

in the week I will be 40 March 2005 and I really don't want to be this

at 40! This might sound a bit goofy but I counted and I have 80 weeks

or just short of 19 months to reach my goals. It might sound

conservative or slow but I have learned not to rush the weight loss

process. So, I'm giving myself that time to lose 52 pounds. That and I

know the last 30-40 will be really hard. I really want to be 160 by

then. If it happens before, great but by the latest Mar 29th 2005.

Eventually, maybe after my tummy tuck and maybe a bit of lipo, I would

like to be in the 150s I think but for now 160 by 40 is my long term

goal. It might seem silly doing this but it helps me get things in

perspective and get in the right mindset. Now yes, I know there will be

ups and downs but I think this is doable. I'm getting excited again and

I haven't felt that way in some time. So here goes buds, we can do

this! Never give up!
