The Goal

My goal is to lose 100 lbs in a year from October 1st.

My reasons for the goal:

a) Health

1. Reduce High Blood Pressure
2. Reduce likely hood of type 2 diabetes
   

b) Being able to fly to Austin, Texas for our 5th year anniversary
c) Being able to be pregnant

1. produce a healthy child
2. live through the pregnancy
3. not develop gestational diabetes

Now the more selfish reasons:

a) Sit in a concert seat comfortably

1. Norfolk Scope lower bowl
2. Nissan Pavilion
3. Verizon Center

b) Go to Kings Dominion and be able to ride roller coasters again.


One problem is I don't know my actual weight right now. We don't own a scale and I'm not due back into a doctor's office until mid-November. So, I'll add 5lbs to whatever that weight is and make that my goal for October 2010. Or I'll buy a scale between now and then.

This blog will be for pushing through my struggles and plateaus and celebrating my accomplishments.
