I was thinking about where I want to be in terms of my weight loss in the future. I know I need to start exercising. I've been neglecting it and it's not going to fly anymore. I hope that starting to exercise more will help my lose some weight in areas I haven't seen a lot of progress in (tummy, thighs). I'm going to be at GenCon in August and I want to dress up as both Vanellope Von Sweetz and my steampunk Rosie the Riveter that I did several years ago. I'm not terribly worried about Vanellope except her tights...I have no idea what I'm going to do with it and it's essentially the only big thing left for her costume (I need to make candy barrettes for her hair and get some stuff for the drawstring in the sweatshirt, but those are not a big deal). With Rosie, I really need to start lifting some weights to get my arms ready to roll up some sleeves! So, in terms of exercising, I want to do start up again for those reasons. Also, I want to be down to 155 by GenCon, which is the middle of August. I think I can do it, but we'll see.
My next goal is set for September. Both my brother and sister are getting married that month and I'm a bridesmaid for my sister in her wedding. I have a dress that I bought last month at a thrift store that is pretty darn awesome. It also doesn't fit. Every couple of weeks or so I try it on just to see when I can get the zipper up. I'm still working on it! Today Ben was able to close the clasp at the top, which was extremely uncomfortable, but it's progress. I want to be down to 153, which would be 30 pounds lost, by my brother's wedding, which is the week before my sister's. That's another 6 pounds. I think it's doable. If I could be down more than that, all the better! We'll see. :)
My ultimate goal is to be down at my ideal weight, 135, by the end of the year. Considering it took me 6 months to lose the first 24 pounds, it's obviously an achievable goal. I might even extend the deadline to my anniversary which is halfway through January, since I didn't start trying to lose weight until the middle of January this year. Of course, my goals could all be for naught if I end up getting pregnant. I think I'd be ok with that...I'll just adjust the goals as necessary. For now, I've got a plan! Tick tock!

Tick Tock!
I was reading back through some of my old blog entries (I do that sometimes when I'm bored...don't judge me! lol) and I found the one where I said that when I lost 24 pounds, I would be at my halfway point to my goal weight. Well, that day has come sooner rather than later! I hit 24 pounds on Saturday. I was so stinking excited, it kind of took my attention away from some stress as of late. :)
I decided to make a weight loss ticker. Sure enough, that little bugger is smack in the middle right now!
