Almost a month

Almost a month since I last posted.  The bathroom is done, (beautiful), and Brandon is getting ready to leave for Korea.  It will be hard on him and his family to be apart for all this time.  We will do all we can, but no one can replace dad and husband part of the family.  Brandon wants for all of us to set a goal and work on it while he is gone.  I will do my goal in two parts.   June 6th until he gets home in December or Januarry for leave and from when he leaves again till he's done in Korea.  We have did this before on other deployments.  It was very motivational and a good way to stay in touch daily.  I have been thinking what is a realistic goal that is doable with my limitations.  The last time I weighed myself was on May 29th and I was 233.8 lbs.  I have alway wanted to get back to 180 lbs. but I know that is unrealistic.  So to keep it realistic I will set my goal at 23.8 lbs. for the first 5 months.  I know that is quite a loss in 5 or so months but if I work hard at it I can do it.  That's 4.76 lbs. a month or a little over a pound a week like most in the athletic and  medical field say is recommended.  Since I don't know what exercise will work for me I will start with the walking, riding my bike then work into some hiking and running.  I am losing so much muscle that I do need to lift some weights.  The meds. are finally starting to work so I will play it by ear on how intense I can get.  I think I will get started today and see how it goes.  I hope all of you will get on board so we can motivate each other.  later
