Goal Reached--Well kinda

So I've reached a goal of sorts....
I'm going to lay it out...I was big, heavy and unhealthy! No other way to put it. I had wanted to be under a certain weight by this birthday. I was a little apprehensive about admitting my weight on this here interwebz because, well, it'll be out there for everyone to see. However, if everyone can see it and my progress then I can be accountable and continue to stride toward my over all goal of awesome!

So here it is kids...I wanted to be under 200 lbs by my B-day(which is next week). Well, unless by some miracle or level of divine intervention that is NOT going to happen. HOWEVER I choose to focus on the positive. Since Dec 1/09 I have lost a total of 38 lbs and a whopping total of 15 inches! I'd say hooray for small victories but those victories are huge. I have come further in the past 8 mos then I could have ever imagined. I still have 8 lbs to go but as long as they are off by December 1 this year I'll feel pretty good. I did plateau a bit, as anyone does in their journey but I am sticking with it.

I hope that if you are reading this that you realize that anyone can get healthy. I am a testament to this. I am about as 'broken' as a person can be and I managed to do it. All you need is a positive attitude and some friends to help you along the way. This is NOT lip service. I am known for my brutal honesty and right now I speak the truth.

Now I think it's time for me to be setting some new goals--I'll keep you posted on my path to Awesome.
