Down 24.8 Pounds and Feeling Great

As of today, I have lost 24.8 pounds.  You can read, oh, the last 10 posts, for more details on my goals, diet, and progress.

Today, I want to write a bit about how my weight loss has already changed my life.  (I can’t wait to see how much better I’ll feel when I lose another 20, 30, or 50 pounds!)

I sleep better.

I enjoy spending time outside, playing in the yard, with kids.

I find myself looking for opportunities to go outside, for a walk, or a bike ride, or just to work in the yards.

I am down a full pants-size, and am this-close to a being down a shirt-size.

I have more energy.

Life is better.

Cool.  Be blessed.

Down 23.2 Pounds

I have lost 23.2 pounds since December 23, 2012.

My goal is to lose a total of 80 pounds.  I have 56.8 pounds to go.

In this particular race, I am definitely the tortoise, not the hare.

I am losing just over 1 pound per week, which I have read is a “good thing”.

I am focusing on healthy, lean meat, lots of fruits and vegetables, some nuts, and lots of water.  I am walking 3 to 6 miles per day – and I feel great.

Be blessed.
