Staying on track

Nearly a third of the way through the Trim to Win challenge and nearly a third of the way to my goal.

So, I think I’m on schedule.

I hit 22 pounds lost this week, which I am pretty happy about. I’ve been hitting the AT&T Sports Center about five times per week, and have met with the personal trainer about three times.

It’s sort of odd, because, for the most part, it feels like I’ve been at this longer than three weeks, which is kind of strange.

Typically when you feel that you have been at something longer than you actually have it’s because the process has been agonizing.

But I’m actually really enjoying have the chance to go to the gym.

There are also the days in which I can’t believe it’s already been three weeks.

I have my weight loss goals. I would love to hit 75 pounds before the end of this thing. I’m thinking I set the bar a bit high, but you have to give it a shot, right?

I’d also like to run a mile without wanting to vomit. Not walk. Not jog.

Run. Without wanting to puke.

But my biggest goal, and my No. 1 priority, is making sure this exercise and healthy living thing sticks.

I’ve lost weight before. But every time that happens, I find a way to put it back on.

So, the plan now … take it off and keep it off.
