Day 17,856 marked the day I started my blog. Today, day 17,976 marks 120 days into the rest of my life. I have lost 16 pounds since my recommitment to myself and the rest of my life. I have lost 1 pound for every 7.5 days.
My twitter friend @Lose4Good has lost 45.4 lbs since Jan 29, and she said "slow and steady is okay with me." She is Speedy Gonzales compared to me. She takes only 6 days on average to lose the same pound it takes me to lose in 7.5 days. She and I have bonded via twitter, and her successes are my successes. I am very proud of her and happy for her every time she hits a milestone or just passes up the evil vending machine.
You may have noticed that I like numbers. . . I plan to be a middle school math teacher when I grow up, which will occur in May when I graduate with my Bachelor's in education. I find comfort in figuring the averages of my fitness minutes over a period of time . . . I know I am a bit strange, but at my age, I am very gratefully okay with being a bit strange.
I have to lose 4 more pounds to get back to where I was a year ago. Then it is off to the races. My goal is to lose an additional 40 pounds by my May graduation. According to http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html I have 189 days to reach my goal, which means I must increase my effort by 50%. I need to lose 1.48 pounds every 7 days to reach my goal. I believe this is doable, because you cannot imagine how motivated I am.
Wish me luck, Godspeed, blessings on my efforts, strength to do the hard work, and clarity of vision and purpose.
