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
Congrats on your perfect week & your perfect progress toward your workout goal.
The perfect week every month idea is awesome…I think I might steal it!
