39 Days...

I leave for school in 39 days! I officially have a place to live (but I can't take my cats...yet. They'll be joining me in June), so I finally don't have to worry about housing anymore. All that's left to do is pack, tie up some lose ends, and spend some time with friends and family.

Since I won't be spending almost every waking moment worrying about where I'm going to live, how I'm going to get there, so on and so forth - I can spend some more energy on my weight loss efforts. I'd like to be down to 137 by the time I move. I weighed in today at 142.4, so 5.4 pounds in 5.5 weeks. Completely doable, even with the holidays.

I'd normally say that I'm going to post every day between then and now, but I know myself well enough to know it won't happen. So, back to Saturday morning weigh-in posts and Tuesday/Wednesday check-in posts.

I'm going to focus this week on tracking. I'm making a goal of tracking 5 out of 7 days. Weight Watchers reduced my daily point allowance recently and this will be my first week on the new point allowance. I'll let you know if I'm starving or not.

I'm also going to set a realistic (for me) goal of running 18 miles this week. This on top of working in retail the week before Christmas should be more than enough to work off some major calories. (with that thought in mind, if you are out shopping this week, be nice to the retail workers, this is their busy season!)

I hope you all have a healthy and happy week, and I'll check in later this week.
