(surgeon's) GOAL ACCOMPLISHED!

Jul 20, 2009

 Well, I am officially at the surgeon's goal. Down 115 pounds. I now weigh 130 from a high of 245 prior to surgery. From a size 24 to a size 4 / size 2. Today is a day to celebrate. It's not a day to get complacent though - keeping my focus on healthy living, supplementing and maintaining my new lifestyle. 

My personal goal is only 5 pounds away - I think 125 ought to do it. 120 sounds very tempting, but it certainly won't break my heart not to get there. I'm losing at a rate of about 1 pound a week. Although some weeks I still lose about 3 pounds a week. 
Once I hit 125, I'll start looking for a maintenance point. That way, if I lose 5 more pounds while looking for that maintenance "sweet spot", I won't be too small or at an unhealthy weight.

I do want to be more consistent with my exercise - primarily walking. This is part of MY goal. It does feel good to reach the surgeon's goal, but I'll consider myself truly accomplished when I reach MY goals. 

Life. Is. Good.
