obtain & maintain a Body Mass Index (BMI) within the range of 20-25, which experts generally consider to be healthy.

I need to lose at least 15 more kg but I do not despair (yet ;) ).
When I feel defeated I remember that my BMI used to be over 41.

I was within the BMI when I adopted the goal.
But not anymore.
I have to do it slow and steady.
I neither have the time nor inclination to count calories and exercise madly. I used to do it a few years ago, but life is busy and I cannot multi-task.
So, I will focus on eating reasonably healthy and exercise 2 -3X a week. The latter is not hard for me, the former is hard if I don’t plan ahead of time.

I exercise because it makes me happy, not to lose weight. On the other hand, food makes me happy too, which is no help with weight loss :)

Time to start planning.

It’s been higher, but with the changes in the company I’ve been keeping, I seem to be losing weight again without even trying. No more desserts with whipped cream every night or finding candy bar stashes around the house. A lot less bacon, sausage and red meat. I’m giving up on this for awhile, until I stop losing naturally. Then we’ll see where things stand, and whether I need to diet at all. Meanwhile, I’ll just keep on with plenty of fruits and veggies.

Now to work on the “Other” health related goal, which is a bit more challenging indeed.

to pay more attention to this goal. I just got a note form someone who looked at my race photos, which do stink, and the note indeed said, “The weight will come off”
Ugggh, cry or be angry…cry or be angry…or do both.
:(
My cursed hand has caused a great deal of this, it spiraled everything otu of whack and its been hard to get it back into whack.

I saw my brightroom photos. Darn if I don’t look hefty. Not at all pleased, so must make a new effort. I’m amazed at how big I can look. May even have to bring back my fruit and vegetable goal. :(

Better, but still notexactly where I want to be. My funk has led me astray and I am eating wierd foods, but still losing because nothing really appeals. Unfortunately it has also led me to be slightly afraid to eat…which is not so productive.
I am again not trusting the scales which this morning said 25.9, but, I am hopeful to proceed to there.

Much much better. I am seeing good results on the scale, but not feeling very fit. but I am pleased to see the numbers going down.

down a bit. it appears lower on the scale,but I am not trusting it…. I actually saw 26.3, but…I am going to not record that since it waspost 2 hour run/weight sessions….but I am making progress in the right direction. I have until April to really fully achieve this goal…

slowly it is coming off. This is going to be one of my main foci for Feb and March, so hopefully will be down some more to say 25.6 at the beginning of April. it’s key ot my best Year.
