Readjustment

I've readjusted my goals. I think it was time finally. I'm no longer at the pace where I'm able to lose 2+ pounds a week. In fact, I think that was rather unrealistic after hitting 150 pounds. And I think that's a lot of what intimidated me.

I'm learning though. I'm now focusing on one pound a week. That still puts me at my goal weight by June 15th of this year. (And if all goes according to schedule, I'll be hitting a healthy weight on the BMI in the beginning of May. That'd be fantastic. I've not been at that point since...ever.

We have a treadmill now. Granted, it's kind of...not the greatest? However, I'm still thankful for it. My dad gave it to us. It is motorless and tiny, so that poses some problems; yet, I think it'll be a good thing for us to have in here. I've been doing a half hour each day the past couple of days, and I hope I can keep it up. It's an incentive for me to squeeze in some exercise during the time I usually spend watching Ellen DeGeneres. I think tomorrow, I'll try walking on it during her show and taking breaks during commercials. That should still get in some decent time, I hope. (You never know with all the commercial breaks on broadcast television nowadays, though.)

Anyway, I'm hoping to begin on phase 2 of my weight loss now. I don't want to stop. I don't want to be done. I mean...I potentially could be. I've made progress already. However, I am not satisfied yet. I think I have so much more to give, and I would be disappointed in myself if I stopped.

So...there ya go. The end for now.
