Day #136 - The Big "60"

Yesterday I mentioned that I have two recently set goals I have been trying to accomplish for about a week and a half now. And I set out, last night, to accomplish both by running outside. The first goal was to reach 242 lbs and the second was to run from my apartment to a certain point, in the next town over, and back to my apartment without stopping. Well, it turns out that the running goal was foiled yesterday when I stopped to talk to one of my friends for about 5 minutes. I did however make it from where I stopped to talk, to the location I wanted to reach and back to my apartment without stopping. Unfortunately, I did not manage to make it all the way through, due to an unforeseen circumstance, but I am certainly not trying to cut any corners. So as of now, that goal is still alive, waiting to be accomplished.

But the first goal I mentioned before, has been reached as of this morning. Yes my friends, I weighed in this morning at 242 lbs on the dot. Which brings me to this very proud announcement, I have officially lost 60 lbs since the start of my "Mission to Healthy." Now of course baring any weight fluctuation within the next day or two, I consider this a great accomplishment that I only hope to build upon in the near future. It is amazing how a person's life can change around, for the better, with hard work and determination. I also have all of you to thank as well, for supporting me through my mission this far.

So, with another small goal accomplished, it is only fitting to create another one to take its spot. With that being said, I am stating for the record that my next small goal is to break into the 230 lb range. It sounds even better when I say it out loud, "230 lbs." I can't even remember the last time I was in the 230's. I have also decided to post my "Small Goals" on this site, right underneath my "Quote of the Day." This way everyone can see, on an everyday basis, the goals I am trying to accomplish. And once a goal is completed, another one will go up in its place. Well here is to the next goal and many more to come after that.

With that being said, let's get to the details of the day:
