Notes: I kept on track the entire time I was away from home, I even continued to portion my food, count my calories, and all that good stuff! Yay! A few side notes...nearly all of my exercise is what *I* call exercise for myself...usually it is walking in a mall, to and from somewhere, etc. It is rarely what someone would call "exercise", but it is the kind I get in my day, and that is what it is to me. Also, I probably won't be listing the foods I eat anymore, or my score out of 5 for the day, because they both aren't really needed. But, of course, I will keep listing my daily calorie intake and exercise! Until next time...!
*Average daily calories while away from home: 1794!*

My 299 in 299 Challenge!!!

My "299 in 299" Challenge!!

GOAL: To reach 299lbs in 299 days!

STARTING DATE: January 12th 2009
END DATE: November 7th 2009

STARTING WEIGHT: 365.6
POUNDS TO LOSE IN 299 DAYS: 66.6 (approx. 1.6lbs/week)

Here's how it will work:
I will check in with a special update post after my normal weekly weigh-in, but for this I will check in 4 times, here is when:
March 23rd 2009 (10 weeks in)
June 1st 2009 (20 weeks in)
August 10th 2009 (30 weeks in)
November 7th 2009 (42 weeks + 5 days in...aka 299 days in!)
I will also be taking my measurements today and probably posting them up, so those will be redone on Day 299 to check my progress as well!
Now, I know 1.6lbs a week doesn't seem that difficult...but averaging 1.6lbs a week every week for nearly a year...that's another thing, LOL. So, please wish me luck!! I hope I can do this! I will see you for an update in 10 weeks! :-D

That might sound lame, but it was awesome! John and I had sooooo much fun! ^^ So, I think after 40 days on plan - including Christmas! - that me enjoying my night without any stresses of counting calories, worrying about how many grams I ate, etc, was due. This will NOT happen on just any occasion though, it was a special night for me in more ways than one. I don't regret it at all, life wise or food wise. So, Happy New Year everyone!! Be happy! Tonight I sure as hell am! :-D
