It's good to have a long-term goal

I’m very much a spot-of-the-moment person. I find something that needs done and work on it until it’s done or I’m dragged away by some other event. Not to say I’m a Calamity Sam, only doing when the clock strikes the eleventh (although I will do sometimes), but rather I like to get things done the moment it strikes me that it needs to be done. But Life tm is a multi-threaded environment and for everything you can do now, there’s a dozen others waiting in the wings.
So, it’s good to see to some of those as you can-set yourself long-term goals that you can tackle in bite-size pieces. That way you don’t spend an inordinate time neglecting others and find yourself making progress without extended immediate effort.
My long-term goals? Mmmm… well I’ve a few, mostly completely impossible, but the one I speak of today is: the dress.
The Dress
Not the best pic, but the only clear one I could find and there’s no way I’m modeling it now! It’s a lovely simple-yet-complicated design that I fell in love with at first sighting. Even though when I tried it on there where a few bits bulging it looked good and I’m not the sort of person who often tells herself she looks good.
Why am I posting this so publicly? Well, since my ‘regular’ visitors include myself, two friends, and a chap from New Zealand (hello) I’ve not much to fear in the humiliation dept. and it might just get me going.
So, my Goal: to get rid of the bulging bits by 6 months so I can wear this ribbonesque lovely to some grand event, like a play, or grocery shopping :) I’m guessing it’ll take 25 off to get the curvey yet no-bulging stage.
I’ll start here being utterly vaguely honest and say I’m 162. As weeks progress I’ll comment on how I’m doing. I’ve a friend who’s said they may do with a comment or three to encourage, and you are certainly welcome to as well.

~155. I was 154 yesterday but given it was a Monday I was overly cheerful (which takes off a pound or so).
153 and holding for the past week. Let’s hope I’ve not reached a plateau so soon.
153, plateau or not, is awesome! I know you can keep going, but dang, that’s not bad progress. Especially compared to my own, but even what I’ve lost so far feels pretty good.
Down to 152 steady for a week. I was at 150 for a bit, and it’s ‘that time’ so there may be some water weight to come off in a week or so.
To improve their ability, to benefit oneself and him. Have the ability to do practical things won’t talk any benefits after all. The end of the story always return fully loaded, is a nurse nomination.
