Day 86 Extreme Accountability Challenge
Starting weight 304 pounds
Destination weight 175 pounds
Total weight loss to date 56.8 pounds
72.2 pounds to go
As I move towards the halfway point of this public weight loss journey, the thought of this being like a Marathon comes to mind. So far I have the distinction of having the most weight to lose, 129 pounds. When I sent out my first post to all of my Facebook friends, it was 2 things, one my declaration to the world that I would get this weight off no matter what, second, that I didn’t want to do this alone.
I asked if anyone wanted to join me and a few days later Summers Duffie came along then Mike Wrabel then my amazingly brave wife Angie Thomas, crazy girl! Then several others.
The results have been amazing, the Extreme Accountability Challenge works. For me and a few others this is a Marathon. Marathon runners fatigue, but this Marathon I will not give up. Boys and girls this is tough, but I can see the halfway point. For me halfway is 64.5 pounds, less than 10 pounds away.
I found this quote from an article about marathon runners.
How to Beat Marathon Fatigue
by Jason Karp for active.com
“Hitting the wall is a fear shared by all distance runners on race day. Fatigue is not something specific to slow or average runners. Even world record holders fatigue.”
Do not give up!
Press forward.
175 pounds here I come!!!
