BuckSpin - A Year Of Change

I use an iMac. As part of the OSX system are cool lil’ desk-top pop-ups called "widgets". I have a number of them (calendar, Google search, weather, stickies, etc).

A while back I downloaded a countdown widget. You can set it for anything & it will countdown to the date/time you chose, and even sound an alarm. I suppose you could use it for a wake-up call, etc. if you wanted.

I chose my "Target Day" - February, 14, 2009….Valentine’s Day. My actual 12 month odyssey into fitness, health, nutrition, a whole new me/lifestyle began on February 4th this year with my 1st "Biggest Loser" fitness challenge class. I’ve since decided that I’m actually going to celebrate that as a 2nd "birthday"! But I digress….

Valentine’s Day just seems to be a better fit. Its appropriate on a number of levels, symbolically & personally.

Anyway, my countdown widget informed me that its 200 days to "Target Day". 200 more days. Only 200 days left. 200 days of hittin’ it hard until my "show date" with a mirror to see what 12 months of total commitment yielded.

So I guess I’m 200 "days out"….

I will be posting *shudder* updated Progress Photos next week to mark 6 months since that 1st class. I admit I’m big time nervous about taking the shirt off for the WHOLE WORLD. I am in awe of what so many on this site look like that I feel very sheepish about (technically) taking my place along side them via JPEGs. But I need to know what others think & what I need to work on for the next 6 months.

To be continued at 193 Days Out…..LOL!
