50 lbs = 2nd Grader

I woke up this morning thinking maybe I was feeling better, but no no! That would be too easy. My lungs protested as soon as I started getting ready for work. If it doesn't clear up soon, I'll go to the doctor... but I have a tendency to think this is just a nasty, nasty chest cold that refuses to move on. Or maybe this is just what colds do? I honestly haven't been sick in so long that I can't remember.

Regardless of my inability to exercise (or move around much at all, for that matter), I have been working on at least eating healthy. This includes smaller portion sizes, healthier meal options, less snacking, and more water intake throughout the day. I stepped on the scale this a.m. for a mid-week weigh-in, and was 197.6... which at least is some movement in the right direction.

I need to lose around 50 pounds to reach my goal weight, which equates to about....

- An old 25" color T.V.
- A medium-sized dog
- 7 or 8 college textbooks
- A small bag of cement mix
- $200 in quarters
- A large bag of dog food
- An average 7-year-old

I know I can do this!
