For the last week I have been bouncing between 294 and 297. I feel like I'm never going to end this up and down cycle.
I feel great at 294 but when the scale is the other way I almost lose my mind. How can I have such great success and then stall out like this. It's so frustrating.
I guess it's time to get my butt back in the gym and work it off. I now want out of the 290's!

I DID IT!!! I'm in the 200's!
This morning when I woke up and headed for the bathroom scale, my stomach was in knots. I knew there was little chance that I could have lost enough weight to be below the 300.0 mark, but I kept my fingers crossed, closed my eyes and stepped on.
When I opened my eyes and saw 299.6 I screamed out loud. The last time I saw that number was when I was in the first part of my pregnancy with my son. Since he turned 13 in February, that tells you how long it's been.
NEVER again will I see a 3 at the start of my weight. That is behind me and it's all downwards from here.

I've Reached Goal #1
I know it's been 2 months since I've updated this blog, and there really is no excuse.
Yes I have been working 60 hour weeks, but somehow I manage to get online and chat so I should be updating this as well.
As the title states, I have reached my first goal. I am officially 300 Pounds! I know, most people would wonder why on earth I would celebrate 300.... but for me, this is a big accomplishment.
I haven't been 300 pounds since February 25th, 1997, when my now 13 year old son was just 3 weeks old. I have officially lost 189 pounds from my heaviest of 489. I now know that all of my goals are achievable, if I just work at it.
I will reach every one of my goals, if I just stay on track and keep focused on the small steps. I know I still have 93 pounds to get to my primary goal, but if I focus on the small goals first, it's not so daunting. Along the way I am sure there will be times when I faulter, but if I remind myself of the end result, I will force myself to get back on track.
Within the next couple of days I will see a weight starting with the number 2, something I haven't seen in almost 14 years. I am SOOOOO excited!!
Goal #2 is 275 pounds. This is the weight I was the day I graduated high school 15 years ago. I can't even picture myself at that weight. I thought life couldn't get any worse than when I was that weight, and now I'm striving to get to it.... isn't life strange sometimes?
To reach goal #2 I have to lose 25 pounds. I have set the date to reach this goal for December 31st. This gives me 4 1/2 months to lose the weight. This may seem really slow, but at just under a pound and a half a week, if I do faulter, I still have time to correct the situation and still succeed. If I reach the goal before that date, then I get to start on the next goal that much sooner.
As of right now, I am definitely on track to reach my goal of 207 before my 35th birthday... March 12th, 2012. That is my personal deadline for ultimate success!
Keep an eye out for the thinner, more improved version of me!
