Monday Weigh In - 2009.Feb.16

Weigh In Log.

Monday Morning.

188 - Lost 1 pound. It sort looked like 187, but I would rather go with 188.

Lent starts next week. I am playing around with the idea of getting up at 6am everyday to do my "move more" time. I stay up late each night from midnight to 2am, so 6am is pretty rough for me. However, I seriously want to lose this weight. I want to be fit and healthy and trim. I am going to be 38 this year and the big 4-0 is not too far away.

I want to go on a ski trip with my husband; we have not been since our honeymoon in 1996. I want to run the Detroit Free Press Marathon in Detroit that (for more info http://www.detroitfreepressmarathon.com/) crosses the USA and Canada border twice. We lived in the Detroit area in a small enclave town called Hamtramck for 10+ years and it would be great to go back to the area and accomplish one of my goals on my Life To Do list. I wanted to do it before 30, then 35, and now darn it by 40 !

I need to keep reminding myself why I want to do this when I find my motivation waning. I want to be healthy and happy and in shape for myself and my family. I want an active family life filled with outdoor time and skiing, playing tennis, and running around the park. It's hard to keep up when you weigh in the 180s and 190s.

My dream would be to be a size 10... My fantasty would be to be a size 8. I am only 5'4" tall, 8 would be a better size for my height... anything in the single digits would be a fantasy I would love to live !
