Next Milestone: 310.0(top of danger zone) -- 10.5 lbs. to go.
The last couple weeks have continued to be strange; the only consistent thing is it being really busy at work with the holidays. Before Christmas I once again bounced off the 315 point like it's trampoline or something. Got self-indulgent at the end of the week before Christmas, and I was about three pounds heavier than today's weight by the middle of the week before starting to decline again.
So 2017 is in the books, and after a strong summer and fall I've basically flat-lined overall since late October. The holidays are over and I don't do anything particularly special for New Year's, so there are no more built-in fluctuations.
** Short-Term Goal -- Get consistent again with the daily exercises and eating, sooner rather than late to establish post-holiday habits again. With this, get through the 315-lb. roadblock which I've gotten close to now three times but haven't broken through yet.
** Mid-Range Goal -- I'd really like to be light and strong enough to see significant lower-body strength gains by the time biking season rolls around(roughly late March). If so, I should be able to make some real headway on the cardio fitness over the course of the warmer-weather seasons.
** Long-Range Goal -- 90.5 lbs. to lose next year to hit my original goal(230 lbs. by the start of 2019). That's less than two pounds a week, but is probably a bit on the unrealistic side barring a near-perfect year which is unlikely. I should definitely get most of the way there though if I can break through soon.
