Crazy idea, but maybe I'll surprise myself

Ok, so back in April I said the trick was NOT falling off the wagon, and shortly afterwards I did fall off. But another key detail in reaching goals is knowing that just because you get off track for awhile, doesn't mean you have to stay off track forever. So I'm back, and determined to get this done. I even cooked up a crazy new plan. I'm going to try to lose what averages out to 1 lb a day for the month of July. I realize this plan could fail, but even if it does my hope is that working towards that kind of goal will allow me to lose a substantial amount of weight in the next month. If my plan ends up being successful, my goal is to go on to lose 18 lbs over the course of August and September for a total of 49 lbs in 3 months. I told you it was crazy. But even if I only lose half of that in that time, I will still be happy because progress is progress. Plus, if I don't hit 209 by the end of 3 months, I can always go back to my goal of reaching that weight by the end of the year. My biggest obstacle in all of this is going to be my left ankle. I sprained it almost 2 weeks ago now and it's still not completely healed; I'm not sure it will ever be the same again. I can still swim with it like this, but I would hesitate to use an elliptical, treadmill, or play DDR with it still being so sore/tender/sensitive. Here's hoping it continues to improve and doesn't slow me down much longer.
