Making Progress

Today I weighed in at 215.4 lbs.  That is 31.4 lbs dropped since January.  During the last 10 months, I have had successes, stalls and back pedaling.  Between July (where I was at my lowest of 213 lbs) and September, I had gained 11lbs.  I have nearly worked all of that off and am on pace for a goal of being 199 lbs or less by Christmas.

Being healthy takes a lot of discipline.  I have to be on top of my eating and exercise all the time or I slip back into bad habits.  I shop on Saturdays so I know exactly what is going to go in my mouth for every meal for the next 7 days.  Doing this is making me successful.  Going to the gym 6 days a week is making me successful.  I am losing weight.

It is hard, but it is so worth it.  Yesterday, I could tell how much smaller I was while on the elliptical.  The shirt that used to be so tight on me is a lot looser.  What a great feeling!

Once I hit 210 I am going to post another picture.  Only a few pounds to go!!!
