New Years Eve and the new year looks great.

Current Weight: 264.0 lbs
Lost This Week: 1.0 lbs

First, I couldn't actually weigh in tonight because the gym is closed but I did weigh in last night and I was at 263.8lbs so in the name of "weight changes from day to day" I am putting it in as 264lbs, giving me a one pound loss. Not too bad considering it was the week with Christmas eve and Christmas day binges. So I'm happy to have lost over Christmas.

Secondly, it's New Years Eve! I'd say this past year has been a successful one, I've really been getting my life on track and I'm feel better than I have in years. Weight Watchers is certainly one of the most positive changes I've made in my life. I've also pushed myself even harder at the gym, made huge leaps in my fitness. There have been bad points in the year too, primarily the chronic issues with my foot and the surgery to correct them being cancelled. The surgery is happening in January so at least it will finally be done. But really, this year has been fantastic.

I am going to do something I have never done -- I am going to make some goals to achieve for the year. Nothing crazy or uncontrollable, but things that I believe I can achieve and should focus on.

• I want to have my foot surgery, have it repaired and finally have that behind me. Being able to do the workout that I feel I can do and want to do but not be able to because of the torn ligament in my foot and the pain it causes.... well, it is frustrating. So I eager to have it behind me. 
• I want to have lost 50 pounds by this time next year. I think that if I wasn't having my foot surgery that number would actually be too low a goal, but my weight loss is largely due to how active I am. After the surgery my gym time is going to take a major major hit, and even once the cast comes off I'm going  to be quite lame so that's going to slow things down a lot for quite a while. So I think 50lbs is doable considering the constraints.
•  I want to start running on the treadmill. Right now I can't due to my foot and the pain that sort of impact causes it, but I have been thinking for a while now that it is an activity I think I would really enjoy. So once my foot is healed, the cast is off, I've been able to go back to the gym for a little while and if a physiotherapist/doctor gives me the go-ahead, I really think I'd like to give running a shot.
