Quarter of the year in and the only thing lost is time....

Well here we are, four months into the new year and where do I stand in the goal I've set for myself....slightly closer than before but still have a ways to go!

Currently my weight stands anywhere from 27lbs to 36.2lbs from my goal weight and the loss of 100lbs and the reason being for such a big range in numbers is all due to what scale I stand on...oh why can't they all be the same! Granted, I like the lower number much better and saying that I only have to loose 27lbs by December 31st sounds a whole lot better than 36.2lbs but I'm thinking that maybe I should go for somewhere in the middle, say like....31lbs.

The past few months have been interesting to say the very least and my weight has shown it. Some days I feel like I've gained 500lbs (I know that's impossible to do in one day but trust me, it sure can feel like it) and then there are other days when I do feel skinny and happy. I do have to say that after driving to and from Florida this year, I didn't gain as much as I thought I was going to and that made me happy. Granted I did gain, but it was only a few pounds.

I almost joined the Biggest Mover here at work again. I even went as far as filling out the paperwork and submitting my name. But at the last minute I withdrew my name....probably not the smartest thing to do but I really want to try and do this on my own. Since then, I've only been to the gym a small handful of times and know that I should get my behind in there more. I've also looked at joining a few other classes we're starting up here but haven't decided if that's something that I want .to do yet or not. Knowing me though, I'll wait until the last minute to decide and by then it'll be to late.

I can tell you that I've signed up for two different "road races" this year, even though they're both about having fun and not keeping track of your time. One is here in the city I work in and it's called "Color Bangor" and the second one I signed up for is in the southern part of the state and that one is called "Color Me Rad". Both of these races are 5k's and both of them have you getting covered in color. This first one I'm doing, I'm doing it with my mom and others from work...while the second is going to be with one of my friends who's never done a race before. It should be fun and I can't wait.

I'm hoping that by the next time I post, I can report a better weight loss or better yet, saying that I've made it to the gym on a much more regular basis!
