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
