Lose 15 more pounds

I seem to have gotten down to 141 pounds by accident seeing as I haven’t been actively pursuing this goal. I’d like to start making, if not a full-fledged effort, at least a partial one. So it looks like I’ve got 11 more pounds to go before I reach my goal.

Well, I lost 15 pounds over the summer. I was down to 130 in August. Unfortunately, I gained them all back over the holiday season, which is par for the course for me. So, I’d like to get back down to 130, maybe even 125. I’ve managed to do it every spring for the last two years. If I can do it once, I can do it again.

So I found out I gained almost ten pounds over the holiday season, so I am editing this goal. Now, instead of aiming to lose ten more pounds, I’m aiming to lose fifteen.

What’s hilarious is it’s been so long since I’ve actively tried to achieve this goal that I no longer remember how much I weighed when I started or what my original goal was. I’m guessing the goal was 130 or 125, one or the other.

In either case, I’m doing way better than I thought I was. Up until this past Saturday I had been purposely avoiding scales for well over six months. I’ve been taking in more calories then I should lately, and I was afraid the scale would smack me upside the head with reality should I dare step on it. This past weekend my bf weighed himself and discovered he had gained 15 pounds, so in an act of solidarity, I weighed myself too. I discovered I’ve actually lost four pounds since the last time I checked. Not a gigantic amount, but a definite surprise considering what I was expecting. If my goal is 130, then I’m three pouns away. If it’s 125, then I’m 8.

I think I can bring it down before Gayle’s wedding next August :-)

I am currently 4 pounds away from my goal.

That makes five more to go.
