It has been awhile. . .

I apologize in advance to anyone who likes to read my blog.  I'm sorry I haven't written in ages and I'm sorry that today's blog isn't funny.  I plan to be back much more often!

So I've been on this weightloss journey for about 2 years now.  In that time I've lost 26.9 pounds.  Now being down 26.9 pounds is wonderful and I've kept it off which is the most important part but I know that I have the ability to make progress faster than 1.12 pounds a month.

 My goal has been 164 for a long time.  I picked that number for a few reasons.  The first and most important in my mind was because that was the weight I was when I felt the most confident I've ever been.  It by no means was even close to the smallest I've been in my adult life but I felt like a f*&king rockstar then and I was treated like a goddess!  Flash to current and I feel like everyone has to turn to the side to walk past me in an aisle because I'm so fat.  Another reason I chose that number was because it felt safe to me.  I felt like I could attain that.  Today though, after doing some reading (Jillian Michaels) and some serious thinking, I've figured out that I'm settling.  Why should I settle!?

In an ideal world I'd love to weigh 115 pounds but that's completely unrealistic but 140 isn't!  I could make it to 140 for sure!  I'm sure anyone of a healthy weight reading this would still think of 140 as fat or overweight but I think of it as my new goal!  I can do that, I'm going to do that!

So that's it!  Today I'm making some serious life adjustments.  I have a map to get there.  I've been back logging my food for 12 days now and I've already dropped 1.6 pounds (I also took a day or two off in there).  On top of logging my food I have set a target of 4 pounds down a month.  That might not sound that great but I've thought long and hard about the target number for me to set.  4 pounds down a month is attainable, good and consistence progress and there's room to bust that target right out of the water! 

It's December 11 today and I'm down 1.3 pounds so far for the month.  I have 2.7 left to lose in 20 days,  that's 0.14 pounds a day!

Wish me luck!!
