Week 12: Three months in!!

First things first: Scale read 282 today. Which is only a one pound loss for the week, :( Quite the bummer cuz I really busted it at the gym all week and my "cheat day" could hardly have been called cheating. Plus I destroyed myself on the bike at Blue Marsh! BAH! Sometimes weight loss can be so confusing. This ends the crappy month of September which I lost only 7 lbs. I certainly hope I haven't hit that slowdown already. I figured once I got to 250 or so that it would become increasingly difficult to lose pounds, but 280's is way to early for that. Lets hope that trend gets turned around in October.

So here we are, three months into this project and so far a lot of good has happened. I'm down to 282 which is 40 lbs less that ridiculous starting weight of 322. I'm averaging 13 lbs per month which will get me to my goal of 220 on time! I'm wearing pants that I can buy without having to goto a fat guy store. I've managed to drink only one night in the last 8 weeks. Most importantly, I feel so much better already. I can start to see a better me in the mirror, but I still must caution myself to remember that I'm no where near where I need to be. We still got a big spare tire to get rid of that's for sure! Lots of personal issues have been dealt with and hopefully overcome.

Let's hope the next three months go as good if not better!
