That’s how much time I have between now and Memorial Day weekend.
That’s how much time I have to get off my excuse wagon and lose 20 lbs.

Yes, I said 20 lbs. In 8 weeks.

The runnersworld.com program that I printed out is for 5 days a week/8 weeks. I bought myself one of these and I am setting my alarm for 5 am tomorrow morning (if I don’t get my butt on the treadmill tonight).

I know it’s already Wed. and I’m not too on track, but I’m not going to wait for next Monday to start.

I haven’t been to a Weight Watchers meeting in 3 months and I am almost embarrassed to show up now, but maybe next Monday. I’ll get back on the meeting wagon too.

I need my girls more than ever now. I know I’ve been really quiet and everyone who I started this with has done so well.

I’m done with the “here we go again” talking without acting.

Seriously, it’s time to take charge of me.

I only have 8 weeks. Dammit.

Here’s a thought. If there is anyone out there who actually reads this…and you want to lose weight too…do you want to do a little competitive thing?? A little challenge?

Let me know. Every day from now until Memorial Day, I will post. I promise. Good or bad.

I’m not quite sure how, but I’ve lost another 1.8 lbs this week!

Maybe I should start some exercising.  Who knows what my result would be then!

Yesterday, I played tennis with my boss for 1 ½ hours before work. Then I had this wonderful cereal from Costco with fiber flakes, cranberries and macadamia nuts. For lunch, chicken sausage (apple & gouda) and a salad with my new favorite dressing (Marie’s Blue Cheese Vinagrette) and ice water.
Things were looking good until I had a diet coke and two sloppy joes for dinner followed up by 3 Corona Lights.
Needless to say, I got on the scale this morning and weigh no less than I did 3 weeks ago.

Tonight the life insurance policy nurse comes to take my blood. Maybe I should take this as a time to seize the moment and work a little harder at this getting healthy crap.
