Challenge or not, it is time for me to start losing the weight. Ever since I quit smoking, and even a bit before that, I started to put on the pounds. At 52, I have decided that enough is enough. It is dragging me down, and I will not let it do this any more. Tomorrow, November 1, begins the new me. I know there will be ups and downs, but I am stubborn and I will reach my goal weight of 180. There will have to be sacrifices, such as the excessive television time I have grown accustomed to.
So, tomorrow morning I will take the picture showing my current weight and I will begin. The challange is through the end of November, but I will not end my pursuit of the goal with the end of the challenge. I will continue until I have achieved it.
This is my proclamation to the world.
