Still on the wagon!

It’s a little over three months since I first started to lose the excess bulk. I’m down 35 pounds – including 3.4 pounds this last week. My clothes are fitting better and I feel great. I did catch myself sliding back into the old self-damaging routine of fast food, but I put a stop to that.

I’ve hit the gym hard the last couple weeks and got a chance to catch up with my old trainer. On a depressing note, I learned that he has been recalled to marines and is being sent back to Iraq. He was working out in preparation of the training he will get before heading overseas. I wish him luck and hope he takes care of himself.

Waiting for the next weigh-in

Alright, I have my next weight-in tomorrow.  Last week I lost no pounds.  That’s right – goose egg.  A little disappointing…but I was traveling and eating out of a hotel room.  Before the diet I would have gained a couple pounds.  So, I’ll take it as a moral victory.

To help accellerate things I started working out again.  I think I should be back on track this week.

Getting Moving…

I went for a walk today. Man, am I out of shape. Last week was dedicated to getting used to the new eating plan. This week I want to start moving more. I figure a couple walks at lunch and getting in the gym a couple times.

A couple weeks from now I’ll be traveling for work. Traveling means it is harder to eat right and easier to skip exercise. I figure I need to start some good habits now.
