I started working on my second goal for this year! Mom and I went walking–in the below freezing temps I might add–at a local park. I had a good time, and feel a bit better than I have in days. The only bad thing is we came up with the idea AFTER we’d left the house for the college. So we didn’t have scarves or gloves…and I had to get her SO to bring my tennis shoes. But it was a start, and starting is the second hardest part. Keeping going seems to be the hardest of all for me. I am hoping with mom as my walking buddy and our plans to walk at least on the two days we have morning classes that I will be able to get over that hurdle.

I also grabbed a spread sheet template to test different scenarios to see how soon I could hit 200 lbs realistically. If I keep my diet at around 2500 calories and work up to at least 3 times a week doing moderate activity…looks like May of next year. *sighs* However, in just under two months at that past, I should loose about 14 to 15 lbs. The last is much more motivating than the first, to say the least!

I think I might get something I can put on a page to track my progress on each of my goals. I wonder if you, my dear readers, would help hold me accountable for when I start slacking? Would be even more motivation to know people are watching my progress–esp those I don’t know– and might even be using my progress to inspire them to get started or keep going.

So…would you help nudge me along with a comment or an email if I start slacking–which you would see by whatever I find to embed in a page on here? Would you check it fairly regularly?
