Day 22. Finally started.
Day 22 seems like an odd place to begin. You may have found this blog and come back to the beginning expecting Day 1, or "Here I go!" or something of the like. I'm a procrastinator, though, and while I knew I wanted to blog this journey, the journey wasn't ready to get blogged.
Until tonight.
So here it is, and here's how I'm going to justify my late start: The first 21 days were designed to establish good habits and routines. Blogging is part of the next phase.
Yes, that's it.
So here I am. It's 11:19 pm on January 22, 2019. I've lost 19.8 pounds in the first 21 days of this new year, and I'm happy with the strong start. My first "little goal" was to achieve a 4% weight loss in order to win the DietBet I entered at the beginning of the month. I hit that number two days ago and thought, This would make a great blog post, and it will, but later, because tonight is only about getting started.
Isn't that what some of the greatest things in life are about? Finally getting started?
We're started.
Today is the first day of Week Four in my project notebook. It's the 22nd day of Mission 44, the overall 13-month project. It's the 22nd day of Project 43, the 31-day kickstart to get everything going. In those first 21 days I've lost enough weight to win my DietBet (I lost this time last year), buy some new exercise shorts (first time in ten years), and straighten out my blood sugar (although it still seems erratic). These first 21 days have been life-changing, and I'm looking forward to writing all about them through the rest of January. I'm not sure where we will go after that, but we're finally started, so those days will be worked out when we get there.
Tonight, though, I need a good night's sleep. See you tomorrow.
Until tonight.
