Today's weight: 235.6
So, it's a brand new year, but not much has changed. Still fat, still disorganized, still short-tempered, still depressed.
My primary goal, at least short term, is weight loss. My plantar fasciitis is back in my right foot, seems like it might be starting up in my left foot as well, and I have some other undetermined problems in my right foot too--I get joint pain near my big toe (but I don't think it's gout) with pain extending back toward my leg and also across the top of my foot near my toes. I think I've probably just been favoring my foot because of the plantar fasciitis, which has made me walk funny and has caused some of the other pain. I hope. But I'm pretty sure if I can lose ten or twenty pounds, it will improve my feet greatly. I need to try to work out at least 30 minutes a day (to start with), and I need to eat less. It's going to be a challenge; I've been trying to lose weight (or at least saying it) for years now. I'd like to be below 200 lbs by the time whatever trip we decide to take for our 15th anniversary rolls around this summer. If I shoot for July 1, which is 6 months from now, it means I'll have to lose 6 lbs per month. That's doable, but it will definitely be a challenge since I've not managed to lose anything in so long. I need to start drinking a lot of water, stop drinking soda, stop eating chips and candy...meh.
I'd like to be more patient, and more organized, and all that other good stuff, but I can really only worry about one thing at a time. :) Here we go, 2014...
