Progress and Frustration...

I am completely and totally responsible for any and all frustration! I make the choices and need to live with the results; I am fine with this part. This all comes from today is my official 3 month weigh in. I was originally not going to weigh but decided to go ahead. So I am down 52 pounds in the 3 month period with is awesome and excellent. But I have only lost 5 pounds in the past couple of weeks. That is not such a horrible thing but I still want more. So I am still on track but it looks almost impossible for me to lose 50 pounds over the next 3 months. It is just so damn hard to do on your own. I am really happy Thanksgiving is behind me and only one more major eating holiday to go, but there are some dinners and other crap coming up so I need to be good and try and eat well and better. I was not a terrible bad boy on Thursday but still too much!

Exercise has been going good. Walking a little more and weights are progressing. So I have been doing this 3 days on - 1 day off thing for the past week or so and that feels pretty good. D1: Walk, D2: Weights & Aerobics, D3: Walk, D4: Off, D5: Weights & Aerobics, D6: Walk, D7: Weights & Aerobics. With this crappy cold weather knocking at the door, it will be less walking and more step aerobics, but I miss the walking when I do not do it on a regular basis.

Counting calories is the best and easiest way for me to do what I need to do and I have not done that for the past month. It is just so hard with all things that are going on. I am responsible for what I put in my mouth!

Ciao for now!

Weigh in day...

Yes, the dreaded weigh in day was today. Happy to report that I have lost 47 pounds in 73 days. That is an average of .62 pounds a day. If just some way I can keep this up, my 50X4 (50 pounds every 3 months for one year) would work out perfectly. So I am pretty stoked about what is going on but there is still a long road to travel.  Next weigh in is February 2. So for now, this is a picture on me back in April, at most likely my heaviest. If you notice, this chef coat could barely fit me and this is one big size chef coat. Will not post another picture until I lose the other 50#. Ciao for now!
