Ok. So. Goal weight remains at 145-148. I think that May 1 is still an acceptable date...that gives me a little more than 6 months, or around 27 weeks. That's a loss of about 1 pound per week for the most part, and a few weeks with 2 pounds of loss. That should be ok, if I can get the exercise up to 4-5 days a week instead of a solid 3.
That also puts me at exactly 10 pounds lost by the new year. Or, roughly, 165. That should be...SHOULD be...a piece of cake. If I really can do that...and that is NOT an unrealistic goal, not by any stretch of the imagination...then that will be when I get myself a Kindle. That's something I want so badly, and I really want to take it with me when I go to Seattle. When it was something that was a later reward, it seemed less attainable, but if I make it the reward for the first goal then it may just motivate me more.
So, then, 155. It is my plan to learn all of the official UN languages...I am currently learning Spanish, I'm getting a refresher in French from my teenage sister, and I think I have a fairly secure grasp of English...and the next on my list is either Chinese or Arabic. So, one of those I think is very appropriate for my reward for 155 pounds. That should be done by about March 1, giving me 2 months for 10 pounds. Doable.
Then, 145 by May 1. That's a little tricky. I'll be getting close to moving then, and I'll need to save some money. But, I want to do something like a trip. Maybe something that's not too expensive...we'll see. But a trip will be the goal.
Again, those are not hard and fast dates, but something to aim for. I do think they're pretty reasonable, though. I'm really going to try and stick to these dates, it might be a good motivator for me.
Ok, I've spent enough time on here tonight. Blah. G'night!
