Naked Saturday: 288.8 (-65.8)
October 18th, 2008 at 9:03 am (Goals, Physical, Progress, Weigh-ins)
Celebrating: 65 pounds gone! Not to mention crossing the 289-pound mark, which now means that I have less than 100 pounds to lose and, most importantly, I no longer qualify for free weight-loss surgery! The option is off the table!
Important note: I now understand how dangerous it is to achieve goals without having a new goal. It’s like telling the universe, “Thanks for all the help — but I feel like stalling out now.” So, my next goal will be to weigh under 275 by Valentine’s Day. This makes me seem like a real under-achiever, but consider this. Sometime in the next month I will have major surgery, and I assume my recovery will not include vigorous exercise or even hours of standing in the kitchen, cooking. Also, I’d like to make it through the holidays without having a major diet meltdown. It is still my goal to weigh under 289 pounds by the end of 2008 and under 275 by Valentine’s Day. I promise to adjust these numbers as needed, but I’d rather adjust them down than up.
Grateful for: having a computer again. Last night, I got my geek on and replaced my hard drive. I still haven’t tried to restore the backup of my personal weight spreadsheet (with handy-dandy charts!) but I will do that later today. Looks like I will be able to post more frequently again!

This week’s mantra: “Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
