The Quest to lose 25lbs!

Alright, for accountability purposes and for a challenge to whomever needs one I have decided to share that I am on a quest to lose 25lbs. After already losing 9 lbs, I know that it will get increasingly harder as I get closer to goal and so I will be sharing the journey. This is a tough one for me, but the despair that provoked crying in the closet for two Sundays in a row, four weeks ago, forced me to make a decision--lose weight or buy new clothes. After surveying the closet and realizing the surplus of clothing that I actually have, I chose to lose weight. I am going to keep track of my progress on the right and from time to time tell you what I am doing to actually shed the pounds. Why during the holiday season and not on January 1st? 1) I don't have winter clothes to wear, 2) Why wait? I'm fat now! 3) If I don't set this up now I will eat myself into oblivion during the season of peanut butter balls and Christmas cookies and 4) Because when I do things I like to make it really hard on myself! My aim is actually to lose as much weight as possible early so that the pressure is off by December. If I accomplish this amazing feat I will weigh as much as I did during the early years of marriage, pre-babies. Now I love food, in a major way, so this will not be easy. I will keep you posted.
