A goal for my birthday...

My birthday is in October. I'll be 37 years old. It's my goal to lose enough weight so that I can do the Wild Animal Park Zip line for my birthday!

Let it be known. I want to lose 30 pounds by October!


Wow... am I really committing to this?


That breaks down to 10 pounds a month. But I'm going to strive for 12 pounds a month.

Being brave today...

In a moment of bravery this morning (and out of the desire to be more authentic) I'm coming out of the closet with this blog. I've changed this from an "anonymous" blog to "the real me" blog.

Yes, I have over 100 pounds to lose. And I'm 1/10 of the way there. It's a long process. It's a slow process.

And today's inspiration...

"Slow and steady wins the race." - Aesop, The Hare and The Tortoise


I take you back to what I posted at the beginning of this journey: Confession time

I completely understand this journey is a long process. It may take over two years to reach my goal weight. Maybe longer...


But it will take a lifetime to live my new life... it's worth it!

Goal: to lose over 100 pounds

I am going to do this once and for all.
I am going to post my progress here.

I want to share this with people.
I want to encourage others.

I want to inspire others.
I want to do this under an assumed name.

I am not looking for advice.
I AM looking for encouragement.

I am obiouvsly not a professional by any means.
I do not pretend to already know how to do this - on my own.
But I will LEARN to do this on my own - without any gimics.

I have to live with myself after this journey.
I have to learn how to do it right so I can keep it up on my own.

I know it will be a long road to meet my goal (probably 2 years).
I know it took me a long time to get to this point (15 - 20 years).

I have 100 pounds to lose.
I have to get to work.
