No more 180s?
So two blogs today (see Kerri’s entry here and Steve’s here) have me thinking a lot about my weight and how I REALLY want to end 2010. In these past 11 months I’ve been more determined than ever when it comes to running and I want to end this year strong – I don’t want to sit around on the couch and wait for Jan. 1, 2011, to get here to start over. I think I pointed that out well enough in my post yesterday.
In a year in which I seem so focused on numbers – my April streak, triple digits in several months, running 1,000 miles – there is a number I haven’t seen on the scale in a few years: 179.9. That’s 3.1 pounds to lose in 31 days. If I can do this in what I think is the hardest month to lose weight, then I know I’m setting myself up for an even better 2011.
A number doesn’t define me, but the determination to reach this goal does. I made it through the marathon when I thought all was lost … I can make it to the 170s.

Damn right you can!
You're totally right, this is probably the hardest month to set a weight loss goal, but if it can be done now, it should make it all the easier to stay on track the rest of the year.
Good luck, you've accomplished so much this year, so I think you've definitely got this!
"A number doesn’t define me, but the determination to reach this goal does." EXACTLY! Let's rock this.

That's incredible improvement! Awesome work. Since you're recovering in December, it's such a good time to focus on alternative training like cycling or pool running. Throw in some strength work a few times a week and I don't see why you can't reach your new goal (and recover faster). Cheers!
YES YOU CAN !!!
