My third goal for 2008 is to lose some weight. I think everyone in the world has this as a goal every year. In fact, I read a news article last week about Oklahoma City. Apparently the mayor has made a city wide goal for everyone to lose a total of 1 million pounds over the course of the year. As of today they have lost 1637 pounds (with 6873 participants). You can see their progress at www.thiscityisgoingonadiet.com.

My goal is no where near as ambitious as that. I don't intend to lose 1 million pounds this year. Instead, I plan to drop below the two century mark. My goal is to be less than 200 lbs by the end of 2008. When I wake up on 12/31/08 and I weigh myself I want the scale to say something less than 2008. Since the year ends in a bunch of holidays and holiday food I will probably have to have a good amount of padding leading into the November-December stretch.

This is a doable goal for me but it will take some work. It will be good though.
