Challenge To Myself! :D

I have just decided on Calorie-Count (and needed to point here)

I am hereby challenging myself!
I started Counting Calories and actively trying to lose weight on Monday, April 17, 2006.

I did really well for a while. Really well. And then I overtrained, got overtired and overstressed and took a break. But I'm back.

With a new very motivating challenge to myself!

My one year anniversary, on Calorie-Count, with the weight loss and health gain, is April 17, 2007.

By April 17, 2007, my challenge to myself is to lose 75 lbs, which puts me at the unbelievably small (at least *I* haven't been there in, like, forever) weight of 231.

I'm currently, as of this morning, at 250.6. So, I need to lose 19.6 lbs. in 14 weeks.

I say it's possible. Not only is it possible, but I say I can do it! :D

If I DO achieve the goal, then I go out and get myself a $50 iTunes Gift Card to use as I please! :D

I say... I've got the capacity to lose that other almost 20 lbs. by my 1 year anniversary! :D

On your mark, get set, GO! :D

(I need to go home so I can make myself an amusing little real life counter I can put somewhere. Possibly in the computer room :D. This challenge requires a counter! :D )

EDIT: It occurs to me (my inner Gerri speaking) that I'm holding onto a goal like this with both hands because it's something POSITIVE in my life. Thus the importance. It gives me something to channel energy into and get a positive response, it's a goal for someone as goal-oriented as I.
Thus, really, there's no negative aspect for trying to do this.
Plus, really, who doesn't want a $50 iTunes Gift Card? ;D
