Day 77 Extreme Accountability Challenge
Starting weight 304 pounds
Destination weight 175 pounds
Total weight loss to date 53.0 pounds
76.0 pounds to go
While I was riding my bicycle yesterday I was listening to “Already Gone” by the Eagles, and caught a phrase of the lyrics,
“Already Gone”
“So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key”
Wow if that doesn’t describe this weight loss journey I don’t know what does. Actually it describes many of the battles that I’ve faced. So often I’ve told myself I can’t, it’s too hard, or I’m too old, I’m too young, or I’m ” you fill in the blank” with any of the myriad of other self defeating but easy excuses.
I’m pretty sure that the writers of “Already Gone” weren’t thinking of weight loss when they penned those words, but the 71 pounds left of fat are “already gone”. I realize that I have the key, so do you.
Press forward.
175 pounds here I come!!!
