Good morning! I have a new goal to announce. I desperately want to be under 200 pounds by the time I’m 30. This means I have essentially 14 weeks to lose about 20 pounds. I am 218.5 today. I wanted to be thin by the time I was 30, but that isn’t possible at this point.

Can I do it? I have no idea. On the one hand, sure. It isn’t unthinkable to lose a little over a pound a week. On the other hand, I don’t think I’ve lost that amount of weight in that short a period of time before. But that is my hope and my goal. Once I reach 200 pounds, I’ll be halfway to my ULTIMATE goal, which is 145 pounds, plus or minus.

This week started out well. I did 50 minutes on the treadmill Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday night, I also did a yoga class at church. I don’t really know what happened to the rest of the week, honest. But there wasn’t any exercise to speak of. I’m eating very well, however.

Anyone have a guess as to what this is?

Open sesame-

Mmmmm. Home grown alfalfa sprouts! These are SO good. I like to put them in burritos. If you put the cheese and sour cream between the cold sprouts and the hot beans, they stay crisp and yummy. That’s my favorite thing to do with them. Other than that, they’re always good on salads and in sandwiches. But the burritos….. Mmmmmmmm.

Now I’m going to shower and get ready for my spinning class! Let us know how your week went!
