I mentioned a bit ago about how I needed to apply our financial planning to my ass and it would help kick my weight loss into gear. So, last night, after Jesse and I determined when all of our credit cards would be paid off, I was in the shower and started brainstorming the weight-loss end of things.
Before I hit my 100 pounds loss, I was losing 10-12 pounds per month. I want that agani. I’m going to work toward it again, but am going to also try to stay realistic about this, so as to not get discouraged. I figured if I lose 8 pounds per month, then that’ll be anotehr 24 pounds by the endo fht eyear. That’ll take me to something like 137 to 140 pounds lost. Which… is cool. It’ll push me far over my half-way mark.
I think, honestly, that I’m still having a hard time grasping the level of weight we’re talking about here. I know it’s only another 20-30 pounds, but while 100 pounds is easy to handle and imagine and to understand, 130-140 just isn’t. I just don’t get it.
I want to keep going, though. If I do 8 pounds per month, it’ll take me another 16 to 17 months to hit goal. That’s somewhere around March of 2008.
When I look at it like that, I really want that 10-12 pound loss per month, instead. I mean really. If I did 10 pound months, that would have me done in December of 2007 which sounds a lot better to me than March of 2008, obviously.
Regardless, it will put our renewal ceremony/my big goal party right around our third anniversary. That works for me.
This year and a half has already flown by, another year and a half will pass before I know it. I just need to lock into that mojo. I need to be back to where I was when I started this. I need to push through.
I need to get there.
