day ninety

Welcome to math day. Now I think we all understand this might be a bit painful but just remember numbers are our friend.

Ninety days... in a row... holy crap !! So I figure that's more or less 3 months (see - the math has started). If we check the ticker it says 17 lbs lost. OK... that's 5.6 lbs per month. Or 1.4 lbs per week. Hold on, I'm getting a bit confused *breaths into paper bag*... alright, I think this means I'm exactly on track to finish the Project but I'm not completely sure. I have 140 days left which is 20 weeks. 20 x 1.4 = 28 (plus 17 equals 45) Oops... and just like that *finger snap* math is not my friend anymore :(

Ahhh, nothing to worry about. First of all I've never completely trusted math. We had a falling out in the 9th grade and our relationship never fully recovered. More to the point, if this was ever really about the "final number" that's pretty much gone away. Will I be disappointed if I don't lose 50 lbs by my 50th? Sure, a bit, but the numbers fall by the wayside when compared to the lessons (blessings) I've gotten and continue to get every day.
