80 Day Weight Loss Challenge – Day 1

Okay, this started on December 30. but I just learned about it, and joined it, today, so today will be Day 1 for me.  The challenge today is to write down my height, current weight, goal weight, and why I want to lose weight, so here goes:

Height – 5’4"

Current weight – 216

Goal weight – My ultimate goal weight is 140, but in the next 80 days I have a 20 pound weight loss goal. 

Why do I want to lose weight?  That’s easy…for my health.  I’m diabetic, I take a handful of pills every day for cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc., and frankly I’m tired of it.  I’m tired of being tired because of my weight and health problems.  My son just recently got married, and hopefully will give me grandbabies one day…along with the two I already have from my oldest stepdaughter.  I want to be around to see them grow up, to be healthy enough to enjoy them.  I WANT TO LIVE!!! 

And on another note, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!!  Mine was terrific….spent with family and friends and just enjoying being with everyone, which to me is what it’s all about, along with celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior!  I am blessed beyond words with amazing family and friends, and with all that I have, and all the thanks goes to God, always! 

I hope 2013 will be a wonderful year for everyone!  Much love….xoxo
