NCN has a goal so I have one too

Written by admin on October 13, 2009 – 1:18 am -

Thanks NCN for being man enough to admit that you’re starting anew with your goals.  I probably wouldn’t have done that.

I need to do this too.  I’m at 247 pounds, which is six pounds heavier than I was when I began this blog.  My original goal was to hit 151 pounds by May of next year.  The correct assessment of my progress toward this goal is:  Fat Chance.

So, well, I have to readjust my goals.  I e-mailed NCN to see if we could be accountable to one another, and he’s up for it, so we’ll post and spur one another on to good deeds.  Here are my new goals:

• Down to 235 pounds by the end of the year (Thanksgiving and Christmas are in there, so this probably isn’t as easy as it sounds)
• Down to 200 pounds by this time next year

So there you go.  Let’s try this again!
