Progress

Well - the close goal was met and now it's time to move on to focus on getting under 200lbs.

That's right - I'm under 210 now and will be dying my hair tomorrow afternoon! I missed some sessions with the personal trainer when I first moved down here, so I'm scheduled to have 2/week until the California trip.

Under 200 by Christmas is not only imaginable, it's expected at this point. I'm confident that it will happen. With Thanksgiving coming up, I'm trying to remember that the next few weeks will not be free of hurdles - but every minute counts. Every minute of exercise and every minute staying focused pays off.

I wasn't sure whether to cry or jump for joy when the scale showed 208 yesterday. I sort of did both. Right now, this is the lowest weight I've been at that I can remember since high school. I feel absolutely fabulous knowing that I did this. And I've been doing it with hard work and effort, no short cuts.

And I'm looking forward to being a redhead again.
