OK so it has been about 14 weeks since I posted a SMART GOALS blog. You may be asking why I have decided to pick up the habit once again. Fact is, I have now decided to pursue aggressively the balance of my weight loss. I have maintained my weight between 155-165 for the past many months. I am now intent on losing the "other" thirty pounds. The goal is to reach 130 by December 25, 2012. To jump start the process I am participating in a "ten pounds by Independence Day" Challenge. As we know, to make it happen we have to be persistent and take deliberate steps towards the goal. So here I am again.
My current profile picture was taken yesterday evening at my nephew/Godson's wedding...here's wondering what changes I will see by Christmas?!?
