Remembering 2007 and Welcoming 2008

I guess it's time to put some of my goals in writing. I've been relunctant to do that thus far.

At the end of October, my highest weight was 268.6 lbs. When I had DS on December 4th, I weighed 255 lbs.
Three weeks post-op, I weighed 233.6 lbs.
Tomorrow I will be 4 weeks post-op but I will record my 1 month weight loss.

Goals for 2008

1. Spend quality time with my daughter
2. Become more active in my church
3. I personally think I can make my initial goal weight - 160 lbs this year. Second goal weight is 150 lbs.
4. Began training for the 1/2 marathon
5. Save more money
6. Become an expert in my new job

Happy New Years to each of you and your family. I'm expecting great things in 2008.

Oh well

At this point I don't think anyone is reading this so I can practice my thoughts until I get an audience.

I guess one of the things I need to address is how I am doing? I still need time to mentally evaluate my progress. Of course from a weight loss perspective, I'm on the losing side BUT....

I am excited about 2008!

My First Post

I'm quite inexperience with blogging. The only reason why I decided to give it a try is because I too want to be successful with my DS. I'm very impressed with the DS bloggers and I look forward to seeing what's happening with them daily.

New Years Day, I will be 4 weeks post-op and there are so many emotions. It hasn't been easy especially being so restricted through the Christmas holidays, but I survived and I'm glad it's over.

Like others, I'm so looking forward to New Years and setting new goals. As I decide what my goals are for 2008, I will post them to keep me honest.
