OK - Weigh in day... and I am down to 210. OK - That isn't my LOWEST (that was 209.8 last Thursday...) but I am content with this since it is down from last week's weigh in. Granted, it is only about half of what they tell you to shoot for (1% of your body weight) BUT it is still trending downward. AND - I have officially PASSED the five pound mark. I am down 5.4 pounds. In three weeks that is actually a good rate.

I have decided that my GRAND scheme goals should be five pounds a month. That seems a little bit low, I know - but it is do-able and allows for a certain amount of backsliding. It also allows me to form new LIFE habits - as we keep talking about doing, rather than just dropping a whole bunch of weight for a little bit of time. Five pounds a month means I will be down 20 pounds by New Year's Eve - and 60 pounds (my ultimate goal) by next September. It has been 11 years since I have been that low. My lowest was 145-ish when Sarah got married. I remember mom saying to me that she never realized that I was "willowy." I REALLY liked the idea of being willowy and so I want to be that way again. ESPECIALLY with the styles the way they are. Clothes are really designed for willowy figures.

I was saying to Katie last night that where you all are hovering weight wise is ultimately my goal. I guess it doesn't hurt that I am a good 3 to 5 inches taller than you all are - but 3 to 5 inches shouldn't add another 50 pounds. BUT - on the flip side of that - when I weigh 149 I am about as skinny as I can be... So, I guess it is true that weight really is just a number. Boobs weigh a lot - and even when I am skinny I have big boobs. See Emily - we can cling to that!!!

Last night - stir fry on brown rice with spinach on the side for dinner. Boot Camp for exercise. I felt like I could do more - but Katie was whipped from the day at Genosea Valley - and I wasn't motivated enough to do another workout alone.
