1) As a part of the ThisMustChange.org team, I am trying to raise awareness and money for Love146.org as they work to end human trafficking and care for those victimized by it. I am pledging a donation of at least $1 per pound I lose. I'm also asking you, dear reader, to support someone. You can pledge/donate money to Love146.org or you can give to your cause of choice. I just ask that you please DO SOMETHING. Whatever it is that you do, please let me know so I can add you to my prayers.
2) I have added a couple of things to the sidebar over on the left. One thing is a "Donate" button that takes you straight to the Love146.org online donation site. Please use it. I have also add a counter to let you know how much the community here has pledged. I can only keep it up to date if you let me know you are pledging or donating. And, No, you don't have to be losing weight yourself to participate...
Ok, now on to this week's moment of truth...
I stepped on the scales this morning and was met with the number 310.1! That's 2lbs for the week. I initially had some mixed feelings stepping off the scale. I knew that the big numbers from last week (9lbs in 9 days) wasn't something to expect each week, but a part of me had already done the calculations that included numbers like that. I had moments thinking I would be through the 80lbs by New Years! A sweet delusions....
I've brought myself back to the reality that I knew would mark most weeks: 1 - 2 pounds lost per week as long as I stick with it. And I'm happy with that.
Why?
Because I'm trying to keep my destination in mind. I try to see what life will be like on my birthday next October when I can look back and see that I did it. Each day, I'm deciding that I'm going to be that Steve on his 40th birthday...
And with the support of God, my wife, and a strong community of friends, I'm going to.

Keep it going dude! That's still awesome!
Even 1 pound lost is still 1 pound. As long as we keep encouraging one another, we can make it.
