It’s been just about 4 months since I last got on this thing. I have gone up and down a bit with those pounds and all, but as of today I am on the right track. Well, actually, I’ve been doing pretty well for about 4 weeks now. I have lost 11 pounds since then, and I am still on my way. I am currently weighing in at 171.6, or so. It fluctuates throughout the day, of course. I have adopted a much better mental attitude towards eating. I have grown accustomed to having a free day once a week, instead of just totally depriving myself of everything and then going crazy for 3 months and gaining it all back, and then some. I would ideally like to weigh 145, but I will be very happy at anything under 160. I feel stronger because I am working out, too. Trevor and I have both been doing cross fit work outs when we get the chance. We don’t have all the equipment, but Trevor’s sister does and we borrow her garage every once in awhile. I find that I can do things I didn’t expect myself to be capable of doing. Why do we do that to ourselves? We tell ourselves, I could never do that, so why even try. Just try it! Even at the cost of maybe looking a little silly, at least you can say you tried it. I’ve lived far too much of my life sitting around on the couch. It’s time to challenge ourselves and go for the things that scare us.
So, here’s to be being back in the saddle, and in it for the long haul!
