182.5

That's my new number.

Before I hit 189.5 a few weeks ago - it was getting in the 180's that I was focused on. Now that I am officially in the 180's, my new challenge will be to hit 182.5 That is the last number I remember weighing in the 180's. It was 1997, and I had just started my dream job. I also decided it was time to quit smoking. Six months later, I weighed in at Weight Watchers a much larger 192.5. It's been that long - WOW.

SO, How will I get there. I need to refocus my efforts on genuine weight loss. I've been journaling, but think that Spark people or Fitday is probably needed to keep my calorie counts more accurate. I think it's harder to guess-timate because they have calorie counts for nearly every food. I honestly think that I've been cheating myself and that, coupled with a slack in my exercise program, has resulted in an all too familiar maintenance mode. I need to step it up!

Today I planned to ride my bike to work, but it was raining and cold so I drove in early and lifted weights for 30 min. (upper body) and then swam a 200. I guess I was feeling a little LAZY. Tomorrow my sisters are running 6 miles. I need to do something on my own and I suppose I too could run 6 miles, but I am my worst enemy... Hopefully I will get in something -- an honest 3? I wish I knew what was wrong with me!! APATHY REIGNS!
