Giving Thanks for Less

I didn't blog about my weight loss during the whole month of September. (It was a slow month anyway.) In fact, the last mention of my goal in this arena was my 'fat photos' entry back at the end of August.

So, there's a tiny irony in the fact I've chosen to again document my efforts at the beginning of the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. This is a holiday of gluttony, isn't it? The US one comes too late to actually be a celebration of the harvest and has become more of a run up to the holiday shopping season, but I digress.

Today, I hit a personal weigh-loss milestone coming in at under 170 lbs. There's nothing special about weights which end in a nine; they just seem more of a turning point. Here's a listing of the 2012 weights in pounds and dates on which they occurred.

209 -- January 22nd

199 -- March 28th

189 -- May 31st

179 -- July 10th

169 -- October 5th

I have again lowered my goal. I have made 160 lbs my new target. I won't mind hitting 159 lbs on occasion though as my measurement routine always occurs in the morning while naked and before I have had my first cup of coffee!



Perhaps this month or next, I'll be able to enter a number in a BMI calculator which won't result in returning a proclamation that I'm overweight.
