Interim Goal
My beloved Tracy is coming back from school on Dec 22nd. I have decided to set a short term goal of 240 lbs for that day. 240# was pretty much what I weighted when we met. To try to ensure that I hit this goal I am finally going to try to kick salt (I stalled for a week after they took me off Zestoretic and I think that was because of no longer taking the diuretic (my % of body fat continued to go down)), and I am starting walking every day. And I am announcing it here, which helps since the goal is a surprise for Tracy. BTW, who ever it was that turned me on to www.fitday.com ... Thank you Thank you Thank you. Garth 310/263/240 |

I'm sure you'll be rewarded well:-) It's sort of silly, but I've always felt like I pulled a bit of bait and switch on her. I was in the best shape I've been in since high school when I met her (which isn't saying much) then blew my rotator cuff and fell off the exercise routine, putting on 70 lbs within that year. She's never said anything, but.... Garth Rick GACB wrote: My beloved Tracy is coming back from school on Dec 22nd.

I get frustrated sometimes, because according to all the medical charts I'm supposed to weigh in at something like 185 pounds- at which weight I would look like walking death. I think those charts are wacked. Jake -- My favorite animal is steak.--Fran Lebowitz |

I think those charts are wacked. Jake I am of the same opinion. I've settled in on trying to get to 195. I know from long ago experience that I start to look reasonably good around 215. At 195 I may reappraise the situation but that target seems doable and reasonable. One of the things I love about LC is that it does seem doable. It's not a diet where I am fighting all my natural instincts on a daily basis, but seems truly like something I can do for the rest of my life. I never felt that with any other system.
