The Home Stretch

As we enter August, it is now up to me to finish this journey on a high note.

I have struggled the entire time, I have not done the things I should do to lose weight and get healthy, and time is running out quickly.

I have 15 pounds to lose, and I have eight weeks to do it. Will I make it? I don't know, but I owe it to myself and to you to try my best.

The idea that 25 pounds in eight months would be easy was one that I had in my head. I just figured I would cut back on my food intake, start an exercise program and melt the pounds away. Instead, i have found myself eating more, I have not started any consistent exercise program and here I am, 10 pounds lighter than January, but 15 away from where I need to be.

It's up to me, and to us. Lets do the best we can for eight more weeks, create some better habits during that time and carry them on, even beyond Oct. 10.
