Somehow, some way, I have not completely ruined the progress. I have gained 1.6 pounds, and I am now at 167.6. Not as bad as what I thought it could be...(I was imagining 20).
As you can tell, a lifetime spent of going mostly up on the scale and rarely ever down has messed with my head. I am out of tune with my own body. If you told me that I weighed 50 pounds more, I would believe you. I am out of touch with weight and what I feel like...especially since I've been ignoring exercise and eating mindfully for about a month now.
I don't really know what my weight goal even should be. I have "wobbly bits" that I would like to get rid of, and the cellulite fairy definitely has blessed me with all sorts of fun celestial designs. I feel as though I will know my goal when I reach it, which I'm thinking will be around 150. I will not be defeated by a number though - in the grand scheme of living, who cares? As long as I feel good, energetic, healthy, happy, balanced, I wouldn't care if the scale told me 350.
Somehow, someday, somewhere we shall all feel amazing and healthy in our own skins. There's a place for us - we'll be in tune with our health and bodies. We all need hope for whatever we are needing or wanting from life. Oh, dear friends, this is to you! hahahaha! Enjoy the laugh and/or singing this loudly at your computer screens!
How would you answer those questions for your goals, whatever they may be? You may have been knocked down before too, but forget about that nasty self-talk that many of us are so good at. Let's do this! Who knew Barbara was such a goal-making guru?

As Barbara sings, perhaps I will answer those questions...
Somehow: Exercising 5 days a week however and whenever I want (including Dance Central!woohoo) and feel more connected.
Someday: I shall set a bit of a goal right now - lose ten pounds by January 12th (birthday present to myself) in hopes of feeling more energetic, healthy, connected and confident.
Somewhere: I shall climb the overlooking hills over Portland and throw my arms up in Rocky style celebration.
