It looks like 30 in 90 won’t happen. I was on very good pace in early December: I was down to 361, 20 pounds down, with only a few days gone in the month. Keeping up that pace seemed realistic, holiday eating be damned. Then I got sick. I came down with a bear of a cold starting the night December 7th. Since then, I’ve not eaten that well, and I’ve not been walking, and I’m up to 365.4. That’s still 15+ lost since the beginning of October, which is nothing to sneeze at, but I will miss my goal since I’m unwilling to do a crazy diet to hit some number.
But 1) I will update here on 12/30 and 2) I will probably try this again in 2013. Having some external accountability has been helpful.
But that is still 90 pounds gone, in case you were wondering. ;)
It took me almost 180 to lose 45. Don’t worry about it. Just do it on your pace and keep at it.
It’s about progress, not perfection.
Congratulations are still in order.
