9/18/2010 - Milestones

Today is my 10-year Anniversary with Daimler. I love my company! I received a celebratory email on my blackberry telling me that I have been gifted $200 bucks to commemorate the event. I will also be having lunch with the executives on Monday. But this whole thing got me to thinkin' about all of our personal milestones and how nice it is to reach small milestones, larger milestones, and goals. How very important it is to celebrate each success along the journey and to give ourselves a break for small set-backs.

So, in honor of my 10 years of employment and to respect Milestones everywhere, I am going to share my goals...
Goals:
For 2010: Lose 100 pounds.
I weighed 297 in December of last year and my goal is to get to 196 by the end of 2010.

1. Lose 50 pounds
Started Nutrisystem at 247 and want to get to 197 asap!
2. Lose 107 pounds
