This week I was given another reason to lose weight. My daughter, Jessie, became engaged. There will be a wedding on March 20th, 2009 if all goes as planned. I guess we could call this a short term goal and a long term one as it is a way off but actually only a short way from how long it is going to take me to reach a decent weight.
O.K...March 20th....where do I want to be? That is 8 months away.
I could play it safe and say that I would like to lose between 25 to 35 pounds by that time. I know I can do it. Put it this way....my short term goal is to fit in a dress at least two sizes smaller than my daughter's wedding in May 2006 which was a size 24 and I probably wouldn't fit in it today. Wow....I'm being open today but I am desperate.
I'm off to write down what I had for breakfast!
A WALK IN MY SHOES.... Years ago I began a blog but then stopped updating it due to the fact that I had the opportunity to become a columnist and share my life through a weekly column in a local newspaper. As a retiree, I still feel the need to share. This journal has been resurrected as an outlet, a replacement to my column which was called A Walk in My Shoes, to share my life and in many cases, to simply say what people are thinking but are afraid to say.
