I set an aggressive goal to lose 130 pounds in a year starting last August just before my annual trip to New Mexico. As of today I am “almost” at the half way point.
As I was reflecting on this I realized that near my hometown of Wausau, Wisconsin, we were just south of the the center of the world. This is the feature image of this post that I used since I am “almost” half-way to my goal of losing 130 pounds in a year, and Wausau is “almost” at the half way point to the center of the world!
The 45×90 points, as they’re called, are the four points on Earth which are halfway between the geographical poles, the equator, the Prime Meridian, and the 180th meridian. Only two of these points are on land – the other two fall in the middle of the ocean. And the one not in Wisconsin is in a desolate, mountainous region of China near Mongolia that’s very difficult to visit.

*We all need a little little trivia, right?
If I just stopped now, I’d be good to go and already a LOT more healthy than I was just a few months ago. I am going to keep going to meet this aggressive goal and get back to the weight I of my 20s as a young active duty Army soldier!
