Once again all of your support and faith in me is invaluable. Thank so much. I truly do appreciate it.

. I have spent some time reading journals, etc and feel much more motivated and inspired. I am still not back on track, but at least feel like I can get there again. With that in mind, I have set some new goals for myself:
1. I have until the end of August to get all the pieces (water, eating, exercise) together again. If I haven't done it by then, drastic measures will have to be implimented - Detox to get me going again.
2. I will join the September Exercise Challenge for 1200 minutes. This will not allow for any slacking off. I will have to exercise for at least an hour 5X/week in order to accomplish this.
3. Taking a page from Amy, I want to have lost 43 lbs by the time I turn 43 (3/1). That means I have about 28 weeks to lose an additional 28 lbs. Again, this is an aggressive goal, especially given my past track record and the holidays, but hopefully this will keep me from going completely off the deep end and gaining all my weight back.
4. Start putting my food back on fitday, until I get better control. I thought I had done reasonably well today until I figured out I was still over 2000 calories. I need to reset what is ok/not ok to eat again. (Darn Moose Munch!)
So what do you think? Are my goals too aggressive or is this what I need to get going again?
Friday: I felt like I started to get back in control eating wise and drank 80oz water. I did have Moose Munch and chocolate milk, but it was planned. Unfortunately, I didn't put everything into fitday until the next day - approx 2600 calories - Yikes!

(For those that don't know, Moose Munch is this heavenly sugar coated popcorn/nut/chocolate concoction from Harry & David's. Very good, but addictive and very calorific apparently!)
