New GOAL!

I was on the motorcycle with Dad today, which is never really a comfortable thing. I am too large to fit on the back of the Harley without making Dad all uncomfortable. Anyways, we rode over to my cousin TJ's birthday and on the way there Dad made me an offer. He said that if I lose 100 pounds, he would take me to Sturgis on the Harley. He said that Mom probably wouldn't mind and just think of all the fun I would have riding on those beautiful roads on the back of a motorcycle.

That got me thinking. I REALLY do want to go. And it really is a good goal. I mean, I have had goals before with this, but nothing like this. This feels different. And I am trying really hard today to watch what I'm eating. For example, at TJ's party. There was extra cake there. Just sitting there, on the table. I hadn't had anything to eat except cake. I was hungry. I had had one piece, and desperately wanted another. And it was like the cake was taunting me, just sitting there saying "Come eat me! You know nobody will mind! C'mon... just a bite!" Oh man was it taunting me. I was staring at it. I had to move away and go sit down somewhere, and I told dad that the cake was bothering me, and he just reminded me of what he had said earlier about Sturgis.

Maybe I COULD do this in a year. Or if not a year, I could at least do it. I could start going to bed at a set time and waking up a set time (which I should start doing anyways) and work out before I go to work or force myself to do it after work and eat properly. A good kitchen would help. My snacking has gotten out of control, so I need to stop buying anything that sits in the chip aisle and anything that sits in the candy aisle. Which actually is one big long aisle together in Cash Wise. I should just not go down that one! haha. And baking... I need to stop baking. Bread is ok, for the most part. But cookies, brownies, etc. No more.

I should put up a countdown for how many days until next year's Sturgis Rally. Mark it on my calendar.

Tomorrow is Monday, and it will be a brand new start. BRAND SPANKIN' NEW. Wo0t!
