Well hello mental rut, it's been a few days!

Yep -- this weight loss / lifestyle change is totally 90% mental and 10% physical I think. 


I know I need to do this. I know what is bad and what is good.  I know all these things and still struggle.  It doesn't seem like it should be this hard.  So many people are successful at losing weight. (Yes, I know so many people also fail daily too)  I have a hard time sticking with healthy eating for more than 2 days in a row.  I know once I can get over that mental hurdle and start making those healthy changes it'll get easier.  A friend recommended a book that I'll have to look into -- The Power of One by Stephen Moss.  I think I'm due for some good reading that can hopefully put my mind in the right place and help me get to that final destination of health.

Re-evaluating my goals, I'm thinking more practical AND attainable goals are:

Reach 199 lbs by Christmas this year...332 days to lose about 70 lbs
Reach 150 lbs by my birthday in 2015...492 days to lose about 120 lbs.

I'm bad at setting short term goals, but I think I need to.  Let's see....
250 lbs by March 31st.
230 lbs by June 30th

Just through those together on a whim, but that's what I'm shooting for right now. :)

Anywhooo -- that's all for now.
