50 in 5

No, I'm not turning 50 in 5 days. That's way, way, way off. It's my new goal. Today is July 1st and half of 2010 is gone. There's been something on my "to do" list for far too long. So, I've decided to finally go for it. Do it! Lose 50 lbs in 5 months. Why 5 months? Well, that would take me to Thanksgiving. What a Thanksgiving I will have if ... no, when ... I reach my goal.

I started today with a 3.5 mile walk. My plan is to blog on my progress on the 1st and 15th of each month (accountability).

BIT: I told my better half of my plan and goal and she has decided to join me. She also suggested that we make it a competition. Of course I laughed at her. "Haven't you watched the Biggest Loser? You don't stand a chance." After I picked myself up off the floor, we've decided on a friendly competition. So, I'll share how badly I'm beating her with each progress report.
