On the scales this morning...

I've lost twenty pounds!

I had promised myself that when I lost twenty pounds, I could get a massage. Now I can schedule it.

Oh happy day.

My stated goal back in March was to lose 30 pounds. I'm 2/3 of the way there.

I'm just... tickled. I did it! I'm doing it!

Now for my morning walk towards Rivendell. Elrond's house is almost in sight: I've walked 413 miles, which leaves 26 miles to go.

It looks like a lovely morning, too - cool and sunny, after days of steady rain.

Congratulations! Enjoy your massage. :-)

I like your idea of walking to Rivendell. I should do that with my cycle rides: give myself a distant goal and total my distance after each ride. I enjoy cycling, but every little extra bit of incentive is fun.

I plan to enjoy it!

The "Walking to Rivendell" is an idea I came across (directed there by a friend) on the 'challenge' board at http://www.weightwatchers.com, but the main site is at http://home.insightbb.com/~eowynchallenge/ if you want to have a look.

You earn a shieldmaiden's shield for every 25 miles walked (or cycled). Virtual incentive. I got really into it - that was the first step of my current escalating fitness initiative. I loved the idea - still do. Shieldmaiden of Gondor, that's me.
