20% to my goal

Today was the 50th day I have worked out since July 4th, which means I’m 20% of the way to my goal of exercising 250 days before next July 4th.  While I was in the shower (after a kick-ass TJ workout) I mentally counted the days, and I think I figured that there were 285 days until next July 4th so I should be able to easily make my goal.  Right now I have about 7 hours until I’ll go to bed and I will have completed my perfect week.  I’m so excited to weigh-in tomorrow.  Even though I saw 249.5 yesterday and I have worked out and eaten well today I’m still not 100% sure that I’ll be below 250, but I know that if for some reason I’m over it will be b/c of something weird like water retention and not something that I did. 

Now the focus will have to be on maintaining this momentum.  We have a family reunion tomorrow and Sunday is normally my “cheat” day anyway, so I’m just going to focus on enjoying what I eat and not going hog wild.  I’m toying w/the idea of having a perfect week every month; any more often and I think it would be too overwhelming.  I’m also wanting to be below 225 by the end of the year, I have 3 1/2 months to accomplish that goal.  I think from now on I’m going to take everything in 25 pound increments, if I focus on the fact that I still have about 100 pounds to lose I think I’ll get discouraged.

The baby is getting fussy so I’m hoping I’ll have more time later to catch up on what you guys are doing. 

Progress toward workout goal:  50/250

    You should be really proud of yourself for being so committed to working out. Good for you. I think that you will reach your goal no problem by the end of the year. You keep up your hard work.
    Take care and have a nice weekend.

    50th time and 20% How awesome. I’m inspired by your thinking and your faithfulness to your goals. I like the idea of having one *perfect* week a month. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on my blog. Very helpful. I think I’m on the right track, too. The big challenge is to do it in such a way that I will stay there. You seem to have good ways of mastering that.

    Good job!! Working out when you have 5 bazillion other things to do is tough, but you already have 50 since July first?! That is crazy good! 250 is gonna miss you ;-)
