In order to make Steve's HOT 100, well ..... HOT, I am going to have to shift it into high gear for the next month and a half. I'd hate to end out the year on a LUKEWARM 100.
Thus far I have been somewhat lame in approaching my goals. This week I took a baby step back to where I need to be.
I cleaned folks! It was my own room, but still, there are four bags full of charity clothes that are not messing with my closet anymore. Next bedroom goal: Josh's room. It's a disaster. But first, I am going to have to do some living space de-cluttering and that is going to happen this afternoon. I am certain it is going to happen this afternoon because I have a helper coming to stand behind me, whip in hand, to keep me motivated.
Eating was less out of control in the beginning of the week and not too shabby the last couple of days. I said baby steps! I lost one of the pounds I found last week. That's good. But it isn't good enough, and I am thinking of allying myself with Greta on her quest for the last 20 pounds, though for me it isn't my last 20, but just another 20 in my slow but steady progress towards a healthy weight that does not put me in any obesity related disease prone category. Greta has come to the conclusion that for her it is all about the carbs, and I have say that my intake of carbs is directly proportional to my weight trending at any given moment in time. I gotta let them go. The time is here, what am I waiting for? Why do I keep banging my head against the wall on this? Are you guys as bored of me not doing the right thing as I am? In the spirit of being nicer to myself, as berating me doesn't get me anywhere, least of all where I want to be, I keep reminding myself that I am walking around almost 40 pounds lighter than the weight I walked around with a couple of years ago. I need to drop another 40. I want to be lighter, physically and emotionally.
Exercise was stellar, as usual, since I am one of those folks that likes to exercise. I am kicking some butt in the gym, and love feeling stronger every day.
I know what you mean about being leukwarm. You did great on the goals though! Nice ont he exercise! SO nice to have those clothes out of your closet too I'll bet! I so have to do that! Wouldn't it be nice if we all had someone sitting behind us with a whip, "helping" us! :-)

Funny! Mine has been lukewarm too. But we still have time to heat things up for ourselves.

The Lukewarm 100 sure doesn't have the same ring, does it? :-) Click, you can do this. You can make this last month count more than everything up to this point.
Good job on the organizing and cleaning. I need to do some of that myself.
Good job on the exercise and weight loss!
