This morning I broke the two hundred pound barrier again. Oddly enough, the last time I did this was about a year ago at this same time of year. Maybe October just happens to be an easy time to lose weight - after the summer doldrums and before the dreaded holiday temptations.
Anyway, last time I broke the two century barrier I think I stayed below 200 pounds for about 5 minutes. This time my goal is to make it below 190 before my next birthday. Since I was born in early February, that means I need to lose about a pound a week to make my goal (with a few weeks slack available for backsliding).
I’m interested to see if having a goal will actually be a better weight loss strategy than my usual “let’s try to eat right most of the time and exercise and we’ll see what happens” strategy.
