Okay, as of today I've joined two challenges to try and keep me motivated and working toward a "mini" goal.

The first challenge is at my gym and lasts 8 weeks. I set my goal as losing 10-15 lbs during that time through exercise and diet.

The second challenge is online through WW. The challenge lasts to the first day of spring, so just slightly longer and I've set my goal to 19 lbs for that challenge.

The second of these two will set me below my low point for 2006. I'm ready.

I don't know where I read it, but somewhere I read that the image in the mirror takes some time to catch up with the scale. I truly believe that. My image in the mirror is truly reflecting my increase and I'm less than impressed with myself. I'm not sure why the positive image I saw wasn't enough to keep me going or at least to maintain - crazy how I have the ability to sabotage myself.

Anywho - I ate right on target today and just did 1.5 miles on the treadmill. I stopped because I dropped my iPod - poor excuse I know.
