Looking back...

Sometimes I feel it is important to look back, not for too long, but to look back to where u came from or this case where I started.  When I started this blog I was at my heaviest and hardest time with my weight.  I was literally tipping the scales at 289 LBS.
This picture was taken shortly after I arrived in Alaska, where this journey began..

And now here I am, January 4th 2013

 That is so crazy to me to think I let myself get to that point.  Here I am today still blogging about the hardships and the happy times of this journey.  I went to my 3rd session with Sarah and we checked my weight again.  I am happy to report another kilo (2.2 LBS) down which brings to me 209 LBS (95 kg).  Here is the time I have to look back and say what the hell?  I have lost 80 lbs (36.3 kg) since I started.  WOW!  80 LBS that is literally another person, small person but still a person.  My drive is only getting stronger now.  20 more pounds I will have lost 100 LBS!  I am very much looking forward to that day I step on the scale and I realize I had lost 100 frickin' pounds.  I know it is still going to be hard and I am going to have to work like hell to get there but I KNOW I can do it!  People keeping asking me what my goal weight is, but honestly I don't know. Just throwing a number out there and hoping that, that amount weight looks good on you or saying at such and such weight I will be healthy is very unrealistic to me.  However I am a person who needs to know what I am going for (well as far as this instance anyway).  So I am going to say somewhere between 165 lbs. and 175 lbs.  I am sure these numbers will change as I get closer but just a point of reference to where I am heading.
