Earlier in the year, I pledged to lose 50 lbs as a new year's resolution.  Three quarters of the way through the year and I've not quite made the progress to meet this goal.  Let me explain what came to be with this goal.

I started off the year strong with a heavy diet and then mixing in a running program.  All was well and good until I jacked my foot running.  I learned a very valuable lesson about letting your running shoes wear out.  At the point when this happened, I had lost 20 pounds.  I was forced to quit the running regime and I basically lost motivation to stick to my diet.  I gained back 11 lbs over about 6 months. 

Three weeks ago I got back on the horse with the help of Ashley and a generous workout to the max machine donation from Brandon.  I've lost 6 pounds since then and am still making progress while keeping my morale up.  I'm still being gentle on my foot so I don't mess it up again. 

So, here I am with 3 months to go and 35 pounds to lose to meet my resolution.  I don't think that's possible, but I'll keep chuggin' along to see where I end up.  At this point, I will be happy with losing 35 pounds for the year which leaves me with 20 pounds to go.  I'll keep reporting progress.
