A few weeks ago when I went to my meeting my leader discreetly gave me a piece of paper. I didn't even realize what it was until I started reading it. Weight Watchers holds a contest to find it's most inspiring members and gives out prizes. This year it's a trip to New York City, $5K cash, and a styling session with Tim Gunn. Seriously, the cash would be fun, a trip would be awesome but a styling session scares the crap out of me. Anyway... to enter this contest you had to provide some information, including before/now photos, an essay and your weight record including your goal weight.
Uh... what?
Yep, when I joined WW I never set my ultimate goal. I kind of knew in my head that if I stuck with it that I wanted to be in my weight range based on my height because then you get to be a Lifetime member and don't have to pay for meetings anymore. I never really thought about it anymore than that though because I knew it was a pretty long ways off. Except, now that I wanted to enter this contest I had to decide. So, Karen and I looked at the weight ranges for my height (and yes I've gotten shorter since I was in high school. Blech) and I decided to shoot for something in the middle... so my goal... to weigh 148 pounds. I realize that sounds like a funny number but it's well within the range so that even if I gain/lose a little bit I'm within my healthy weight range.
I'm not putting any other conditions on it. Not I'll weigh 148 pounds by X date. Nope. I don't care when I do it, I just want to hit my goal. That and I want to do more races (more about that later). There, now I've blogged it so it has to come/be true, right?
