Doing the Math

So I just did the numbers and in order to make my next mini-goal, I have to somehow either eliminate or burn 1384 calories per day between now and Sept 26th.

Aggressive but possible. Either I eat 1000-1100 calories a day (which the lap-band nutritionist would approve), or I eat 1300 and guarantee I include enough exercise to make up the difference.

I think having to get back on track to make my next goal is perhaps just what the doctor ordered.

This goal is quite important to me as I haven't seen some of the ladies who will be at my bridal shower for years, so it'd be nice to look good!

Woot! I made my first goal!

I made my first goal! After I saw how fast the weight was coming off, I made it my first goal to lose 15lbs before the surgery. And that officially happened this morning. And it put me in a new weight bracket I'm happy to be in.

Needless to say I was dancing around the house singing all morning.

I also want to get a new haircut before I go back to work from the surgery. A symbolic change as my hair is just out of control! We'll see if I'm mobile enough for that however.

My next goal is another 10 pounds this month while I'm on the thin liquids and then the mush diet.

Then another 15 pounds from there to fit into all my old "new" clothes I barely got to wear the first time.

In total, I want to lose 60 pounds before the wedding Nov 7th. 45 more pounds to go in three months. Aggressive but possible, I hope.
