The Biggest Loser

I'm so tired right now, I wish I'd written earlier because
I know I won't do as good a job as I would have if I
wasn't so tired. Did that make sense? The sad thing is
that it's only 8:41pm. Last night I didn't sleep that
well. I stayed up late (because Snookums wasn't home to
make me go to bed) I had to get up early to take Annie to
school and I woke up periodically throughout the night,
because I was cold and lonely and uncomfortable. I'm not
sure what was wrong. You'd think I'd never been left alone
on a duty day before.

Last night after I finished my dissertation on do-gooders
(I lovingly think of it as my chronicle of temporary
insanity) I watched the season finale of THE BIGGEST
LOSER. It was so inspirational (mostly the before and
after pictures). All of the contestents (except for 2, who
gained weight back) lost massive amounts. Like, over 100
pounds each. Most of them lost an average of 40% of their
body weight. It made me remember that 176 wasn't my goal
and I still have more to go. I'm not going to rest on my
laurels and be happy were I'm at now. This isn't were I
wanted to be. So, I hopped on the computer and made myself
a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet of my projected weight loss
over the next 20 weeks. I'm hoping to be down 60 pounds
(at around 120) at final weigh-in. It's a terribly
ambitious goal (3 pounds per week), but I'm just going to
see how well I do. If it proves to be too difficult, than
I'll revise my goal, but I'm going to give it a try. How
amazing would it be to say "I've lost 100 pounds"? If I
can pull off this next 60 that's what my cumulative weight
loss will be.

I'm going to bed now. My mind is fuzzy. Thankfully,
Snookie is here with me, so I can get my cuddle fix before
he goes out to sea. That's going to suck.....Ciao.
