Today, I started the countdown to reaching my goal weight. It is hard to believe that Sunday, December 2nd will mark twenty weeks of me working towards reaching my weight loss goal. Originally, I did not set a goal date for reaching 125 pounds. I figured, I’ll get there when I get there. However, as each week went by and my weight continued to drop, I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sunday will also be the last day I keep a food journal, at least for a little while. If I can maintain my weight, I won’t have to keep one. The key to maintaining my weight is eating clean the majority of the time, planning my treat meals, and exercising on a regular basis.
Yesterday, I weighed in at 127.5 pounds. I didn’t lose any weight, and I didn’t gain any weight. I’m okay with my results considering this past week included a Thanksgiving feast and leftovers. I ate in moderation, and made sure I kept up with my running and power circuits. This leaves me with 2.5 pounds to go until I reach my goal weight. Can I do it?
I continue to progress with my running. Check out my sidebar to see my weekly schedule. My friend Ming sent me an article called Running with Rachel: The Importance of Setting Goals. Check it out!
As we wade through the next few weeks preparing for Christmas, consider what brings you JOY. And, I’ll be doing some of the same. Happiness!

I am so proud of you! You are my motivator. Thank you for all of your help.
Thanks, Kathryn. I appreciate your encouragement and support. I am always happy to help. I know how hard it is to get started, sticking with it, especially in the beginning when the pounds are slow to come off. The challenge will be maintaining and NOT allowing a busy life to create setbacks. It really is a commitment to wanting to be your best, which I think comes about from being healthy. 🙂
