I have lots of goals. Mini-goals, long-term goals, New Year's Resolutions ... I like goals. I like aiming for something. I LOVE evaluating my progress.
Evaluating my weight loss progress has been easy ... I haven't done much. (I didn't say the evaluation always makes me happy.)
When I weighed myself Friday, I was 3.5 pounds heavier than my wedding day. I was 7.5 pounds heavier than when I graduated high school. I was 17.5 pounds heavier than my driver's license says I weigh. (A number that I made up when I renewed in my early twenties and have never bothered to change - it certainly wasn't true then - I'm pretty sure I'm a lot closer to it now than I was back then!)
A friend invited me to join a FaceBook challenge from today until mid-December. The person/people who reach their goal (or get the closest) wins a prize. I hesitated to join because I haven't lost any substantial weight in a year, but, in the end, that's why I joined. I need something to get me progressing.
My goal ... reach that elusive driver's license weight. I can only imagine what that would be like. My-freaky list-making-record-keeping-self knows that I weighed that amount in 8th grade ... that would be 21 years ago, people. I certainly wasn't a "skinny" girl back then, but I'd love be that skinny now!
