YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

LOL, finally!  Okay I just barely edged my way into the 250’s - but *swish!* nuttin’ but net!!  IT’S IN!!  Also — this means I finally hit the 20-lb mark!  Wooohooooo!!!  (Technically, it’s the 25.4 mark if I start counting from my highest weight in January.  20 or 25, it’s all good!)

Deep contented sigh. 

Okay, now that I celebrated, of course I started thinking about this milestone.  I entered the 260’s on 7/23/08.  This means that it took FIFTY-EIGHT DAYS for me to lose 10 lbs.  Crap.  That really sucks considering I haven’t cheated NOT ONCE.  (Well except for those net-one-carb-sugar-free-candy-bars and that wasn’t really cheating, just unfortunate.) 

Well, let’s see, there are 6.29 fifty-eight-day periods in a year.  6.29 x 10 lbs. is 62.9 lbs.  Which means that if I continue to lose at this rate, at this time next year I will still be in the 200’s.  God!  That SUCKS!  But wait - here comes my Mary-Sunshine-Pollyanna-Silver-Lining-Optimistic-Look-At-The-Bright-Side-Inner-Voice saying…

“But I’ll be DAMN close to ONE-derland!!”

HA!  Yes I will.  And ya know what?  I am gonna work even harder so the next ten pounds WON’T take fifty-freakin’-eight days to lose!!!!
