doc visit

woo hoo! just got back from the doc and I weighed 329 lbs. I know that's still huge, but it means 1. I've lost 111 lbs in just over 6 months and 2. only 29 lbs to go til I'm in the 200's, which I haven't seen since high school or shortly thereafter.(at least about 25 years) My next goal level is 325 so it could be as soon as next week, then I get to buy myself something cool or do something cool for myself as a reward. Then the next goal is the under 300 goal. Sometimes I think it's coming off so slowly, but when I look at the big picture, I've come a long ways. Still a long ways to go, but this is the first time it really feels possible to get there and I feel sure that I'm not going back.  Possibly in a year from now I could be in the 100's. That absolutely blows my mind because I was like 180 in 6th grade. My goal now is 175 (my final weight goal). When I was in high school I could  run and play baseball and do all sorts of things that are impossible now. It seems so weird that a day may be coming when I will actually be able to do all of that again. I'm starting with hiking. As soon as my shoes get here so I can walk more comfortably I plan to start walking every day, and hiking on weekends. There is a lake her that is exactly one mile all the way around and I've never been able to walk it. That trail is going down! I will master it and move on to even bigger things. I feel so excited.
