I woke up (early) this morning to realize that I am just about to my year of sticking with my goal weight. I have been as high as 11.4 pounds above my goal (when I took May & part of June “off plan”) and couldn’t seem to drop more than 1 pound below my goal during this time. So I have about a 12 pound range. Not bad for just less than a year.

Today I had another try to get my “star” for September. Lifetime members who are within their goal range receive a star to put on a bookmark. At the end of a year, if you have 10 stars (aka you weighed in within goal range 10 of the 12 months), you receive another “Lifetime key”. As I’ve said in the past, my goal is to get a lifetime key every possible year that I can.

As you may recall, last week I had a gain on the scale… so this week I have been working to lose some of that (well, sort of… if you don’t count Saturday night’s binge in all of this.) Well, my efforts paid off and once again for September, I am within goal range. I lost 1.6 this week through the workouts with my trainer and all of the various cardio activities that I did. I am very happy about this.

Now I just have 2 weeks until my birthday. The only goal I have for then is to be at or below goal… so I have 0.8 pounds (or more as a bonus) to lose in 2 weeks. As the Little Engine that Could said… “I think I can, I think I can…”
