26 Day Left in 2011

So there are 26 days left in 2011 and I'm just wondering where everyone is at for the year. When you look back on this year do you see it as a success? What would you have done differently? By biggest question is what is your WEIGHT LOSS GOAL by the new year?? (And how much do you weigh now?)

I weighed in at 226 this morning (DISGUSTED with myself) I had a badddddd weekend and basically gained 6 lbs, probably from water and all that. Anyway... my regular weight is closer to 220 or a little under and I would LOVE to be under 210 by the end of the year, but I know that is a pretty heft goal, so my goal is to be at 212 by the end of the year. 8 lbs would be awesome. When I look back on this year I feel that I could have had much more progress, I had too many days off that turned into weeks off. I wish I could go back and turn those to days on! I'd cut out 1/2 of my Starbucks drinks- lol. I wish I could have lost 20 more pounds this year, so here is TO HARD WORK to lose 10 more by the end of the year!!!! WOOOO

My biggest success this year I have to say when it comes to weight loss, is getting back on track with it!
Other than that getting back on track with writing my cookbook & artwork and keeping busy! As well as getting the good news and green light to start trying for kids after a over 100lb weight loss! Feels awesome!
Id love to be UNDER 200 by the new year but that might be very hard to do but Ill be happy if i get very close 205 or so
If I had to go back and do stuff differently id say this year getting my *kitten* back on track after the house buy/sell/move and starting off getting back on track in January that way I didn't gain as much back as I did, I could of been at my goal right now
But hey lesson learned!
At around 212.5 right now, so lets see how it goes!

This is going to sound silly, but I'm so glad I got the jump on the New Year's Resolution crowd. I'm out there walking almost every day. I'm in the house sweating every day. When New Year's rolls around, I'm going to think to myself, "If you were out here with all these other fat people stumbling around in their running shoes, you'd quit because it's all just about a resolution, and you don't do resolutions. But you've been out here, you were here first (not counting the entire skinny, happy family that jogged past earlier tonight and the guy that's always running by at 4 a.m. every morning, even in the freezing rain!), and that means you're going to keep going."

Now I'd love to ring in the New Year in Onederland, but if it doesn't happen, so be it, and I'm not going to starve myself or do anything stupid to try to speed the process up. I'm just going to keep going. This is the perfect time of year for me to work out, the only time of years my allergies don't put me on the floor after even moderate exercise, so I have to do all I can to get in shape before the hot weather hits again around April. And that's all I can do.

Well.... I'm proud of me and my bestie running partner for basically finishing the C25K app!! I would have never thought we'd make it this far, let alone get started in all this running biz hahaha but now I basically crave it, as I think she does too!! (is your nose itching Tarran, bc I'm totes talking about you!!) By the end of the year, I'd like to be consistently down to running a 5k in under 30min... I think I also want to be able to do atleast TEN push ups hahahaha -- and weight wise, I would LOVE to ring in the new year at 160. I haven't been that weight since.... the first year me and Phillbert started dating! I'm pretty proud of what me (and you) have accomplished in the past 3 months.. wish my journey would have started earlier so I'd be closer to my GW by now, but I'm on the right track!

Why were you disgusted with yourself?
