25-Week Fitness Challenge: Week 20, Day 135

I missed running again today! I mean it completely slipped my mind until now, how odd. Mercury Man wants to go to the Y tonight so I'll run on the treadmill then.

This is week 20 since the beginning of this challenge! I am close to the end and did not even realize it. I weighed in this morning at 156 even which means I have lost 54 pounds, yay! I have just 26 pounds to meet my goal, but I won't make it by week 25, boo. I'd have to lose 5.2 pounds each week including this one...and as I've lost the grand total of a half pound this week so far, I don't think that's going to happen, LOL. When I was at an obese weight the most I lost in a week was I think close to 4 pounds; I was getting the weight off at a pretty nice clip then just because I was so heavy (it takes more effort i.e calories to move more weight).

Very briefly I thought about just doing a juice fast from now until then to knock off the rest of the weight, but I just as quickly dismissed the thought. I am going to get to my goal weight by not overeating and exercise, and I will maintain my goal weight the same way. It will take me longer than 6 months to hit 130 pounds but it's going to happen. I can do it!!
