closing in on my goal

My original goal for this new way of life was to lose 10% of my body weight.   That would be 26.1 pounds.   The target weight is 234.9.    Today and after Super Bowl weekend I weighed in at 238.   This mornings weigh in was scary, last evening I ate B-cue ribs, beans, sweet potatoes, a huge 7 layer salad, fresh vege's, jalepeno poppers and a variety of junk.   But I did have a great work out and I ate wisely up and until game time.

I'm still thinking that this has really not been that hard.   But I do miss the junk food and certainly the carbonated beverages.   My life is certainly a bit more boring but there are a few positive things that have occurred.   I can see my toes, tie my shoes, I can stay up past 7:30, I can sleep past 4:00, but most importantly I can now remember my whole name.   That is huge!

The trade offs are all worth it.   My cloths fit me now and soon I will have to buy another pair or two of britches and shirts.   Haven't measured my fat waist line but I'd imaging I've lost a hamburger or two.  

Now, if I can stay away from the kitchen on this rainy day in Ft Worth I can enjoy my fifth consecutive week showing a loss.    At what point am I no longer a lard ass, (obese)!
