My Goals

Here they are, in no particular order:

1.  I will lose 60 pounds.  At 60 pounds less than where I am today I'll weigh the same I did in college - 143.  I worked out regularly and felt fit back then.  I've never been a skinny girl - I've always been strong, muscular.  So we're shooting for that weight.

2.  My fasting blood sugar will be below 95, on 5 out of 7 mornings that I test.  Lately my fasting blood glucose has been hanging out around 110 - solidly in the prediabetic range.  I had gestational diabetes, which puts me at high risk for developing Type II diabetes.  Plus, I just LOOK like a Type II diabetic - I've got that whole Metabolic Syndrome physique going on.

3.  My blood pressure will return to the "normal range" - 120/80 or better, on 5 out of 7 days that I test.  Aside from when I was pregnant, I was never someone who had high blood pressure.  Until about 6 months ago, when I had a really stressful job and I worked 70 hours a week and I gained 20 pounds.  Now it's around 139/89 most days.

I guess that's enough goals for now.  No need to go completely crazy.
