In The Beginning

I began this journey on May 16, 2010. In 1 year, 52 weeks, 12 months, you get it, I hope to be 84 lbs lighter. Why EIGHTY FOUR? It seems so... precise. It is. It's 30% of my current weight (see what I did with the URL? Yeah, that was on purpose.). I have set up a graph and a log to record what foods I eat. I HOPE I can keep this up for 365 days.

The goal I have is really reasonable, actually. It breaks down to about 1.6 lbs per week. VERY possible, yes? And even more so with Percy, my Wii Fit Plus. :D

I have goals and rewards set up for each quarter. Here's my itinerary:

1 Week (5.23): -2 lbs; Reward: High Five
1 Month (6.16): -7 lbs; Reward: Pedicure
3 Months (8.16): -22 lbs; Reward: New Dress
6 Months (11.16): -42 lbs; Reward: Massage
9 Months (2.16): -63 lbs; Reward: Exercise Equipment
ONE YEAR (5.16): -84 lbs; Reward: swimsuit and lingerie photoshoot

I hope these incentives help me to STAY FOCUSED!! Lord knows I have an issue with focusing...
