Hard Goal

I have been doing so much better. I have been pushing my body, doing activities I didn't use to do. Or things I wasn't sure I could do. I enjoy working out when I make time for it. My partner and I just went camping, with some short hikes and some kayaking involved. It was a workout, it was a fun challenge, and it was good for me.
I don't feel like a fat person most of the time. I think this has contributed to my sort of lackadaisical approach to losing weight. I want to take it seriously, but I have not been able to. I am eating better, and working out more. But I am still eating too many calories to lose weight.

So I need a hard and fast goal. I am going to lose 20 pounds by Thanksgiving. Eight weeks will fly by. Real weigh ins, that I have to post. Counting calories every day.

What will I do with all that time I am not going to spend eating?

I am also going to spend four hours a day, six days a week, applying for jobs. I am coming up on four months without a job. Instead of letting this make me feel worse, I am going to use it to motivate myself. Alright, it's an adventure!
