Going and going…

Hello there,

Seems like it has been a few since my last update. A lot has happened all good stuff!

Went to Maine for mom’s birthday last weekend and this past weekend was busy enjoying the warm weather and getting to a few “round-to-its”.

Overall the weight loss is going well. Not as fast as I would like – yeah, I am impatient – but still going well. Sometimes I need to not focus on the day to day items and look at the bigger picture. I have been saying that a LOT more lately, lol.

Hitting a few more milestones along the way.

  • I am already 1/3 of the way to my goal
  • Wearing all my 38’s – almost ready to retire the 40’s 🙂
  • Actually starting to feel better – knees don’t hurt [much] any more – woo hoo!

It is tough going to parties and events and seeing all the good food and staying away. The best thing I have done is plan ahead. I make sure there will be something good for me to eat (salad, turkey, chicken, etc.) and I bring my own food and snacks too. This makes it so I do not have any reason to NOT eat healthy as I have all I need with me.

Cardiac rehab is almost over. I will need to replace the exercise I am getting there with going to the gym. This is a promise I must keep for myself. I would like to see myself doing a bit more, just need to keep things steady and consistent. I was going to sign up for the Manchester Road Race – my procrastination got the better of me. Registrations are now closed, and the wait list is also closed. 🙁  Will need to try again next year.

There are a few more challenging weekends and holidays ahead. Will need to keep to my plan and know there is lite at the end of the tunnel (pun intended).

Current stats:

  • Loss to date = 29 lbs
  • Pounds to go = 54
  • over 1/3 of the way towards my goal

Still working on the changing behavior items.

That is all for now, have a great week!

Peace and Love,

-Dennis
