New Year's Eve

Pounds lost: 2 lbs
Pounds to go: 49 lbs

No plans. Might see a movie. Not sure which one. Do I really want to be watching a scene with Johnny Depp in Sweeny Todd or Nicole Kidman in The Golden Compass or Will Smith in I Am Legend as the clock strikes midnight?

I think I will have one last food "hurrah" though. I think I will get an ice cream shake from ColdStone and maybe a burger or a burrito. Or some Chinese food.

It is just another night. But it is the start of a new beginning. Happy New Year.

2008 Will Be the Year

New year, new goal. New blog look.....blue for the incredible blue of the ocean. I am going away to a place that made me feel incredible 20 years ago:


B e r m u d a !

I am going to stay just a few miles away from Horseshoe Bay Beach, a place of natural paradise where I remember receiving validation for perhaps the first time in my life then that maybe, just maybe, life could be enjoyed. I am hoping I can renew my spirit and energy for life.

My trip is 17 weeks (119 days) away. So I've set some goals to reach:

Realistic Goal: 51 lbs lost by April 14 (average 3 lbs /week)

Aim High Goal: 85 lbs lost by April 14 (average 5 lbs /week)

Knowing how I am, I have to aim high or I won't even hit the realistic goal.

This is quite ambitious for me, because I do not even own a bathing suit I can wear under shorts. Well, here we go!
