Day Three Hundred and Fifty-Seven - 8 Days Left!

I have only eight posts left before I reach my one year mark.  For three hundred and fifty-seven straight days I have posted a blog entry as I have lost my butter half.  What's amazing is that I can hardly remember what is was like last fall.  When I was first starting off seems like such a long time ago, that I have to go back and look at my posts just to remember those days.  Biking for under fifty minutes or not being able to run are a foreign thought to me now.  I can barely remember struggling to do even one push-up.  It is all starting to fade to memories.  I'm afraid that it won't be long before even the memories are lost.  That is exactly what I don't want to happen.  I want to remember the struggles I had.  I want to remember how hard it was to change my diet, and push through each workout.  I never want to forget what it felt like to live life at such a massive size.  I want to use those memories to finish off my journey, and then to help me maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.  I'm so excited to be nearing the end.  I'm so excited to lose my butter half.

My calories today were great.  I ate oatmeal (another food you wouldn't have caught me eating before) and then two salads.  I worked hard to avoid extra sugar and even did a little extra time on the bike tonight.  I am still very tired which doesn't help my workouts, so that is something I need to fix.  I have another weigh in tomorrow morning.  I am hoping for two and a half to three pounds loss, but right now I really don't feel as though I've lost anything.  I hope I'm wrong about that.  We'll see first thing in the morning.
