This year's goal is decreased sugar intake by eliminating sources of excess and refined sugar (think soda, candy, cookies) as well as things that have high fructose corn syrup hiding in them (lots of commercial breads).

My goal is to use Lent to bust through my weight loss plateau (I lost 20 lbs last spring, went from 185 to 165, mostly from illness) and drop another 9 lbs. to get down to 155 by Memorial Day.

This morning's weigh-in: 164.
