I didn't do bad this week - but I felt like I had. I lost 5.6 pounds, and even though I was expecting more, I guess I can't complain too much. We are about 9 weeks into the competition, and only once have I lost less than 5 pounds in a week. I have a goal this week of 6.6 pounds, because that would put me at having lost exactly 70 pounds in the first 66 days. That will leave me with 70 pounds to lose in the next roughly 123 days. I feel like getting halfway done in a third of the allotted time is pretty doggone good.
But am I doing my best? Could I be doing better?
Johnnie challenged us all this morning to dig deep and give our very best effort in light of the tremendous opportunity we have been afforded. There are things I could be doing better... things that need more attention... things that may mean the difference between holding onto the lead and letting it slip away. I'm off to a pretty good start, I think. I've eaten right, at the right times, drank my gallon and a half of water, walked my 5 miles, and worked my tail off in the gym. I want to do my very best, and if I do that, I can face the scale with no regrets next Monday.
