Today I weighed in at 180.5. This is the lowest I’ve gotten since I was on my way up, but I’ve hit this number a few times. Each time I’ve gotten down to this number, I screw it up somehow: I eat too much or exercise too little and my weight creeps back up a few pounds. Then I do it all over again. It’s a vicious cycle.

I am DETERMINED to end the cycle, here and now. I will not screw it up this time, and will be in the 170s this time next week. Mark my words!

In fact, I have a friend who is getting married in a few months. Her goal is to lose 20 pounds by her wedding, and I told her I would do it with her. I’ve always found that setting realistic goals – manageable chunks of weight by a various date – is great for keeping motivation up, and at just under a pound a week, this is a very realistic goal. To meet this challenge, I have no choice but to enter into the 170s!

I can do this. Right?!
