Not to let this get lost in the shuffle, I’m still doing my “get all healthy and shit” initiative.
As of now I’ve lost over 60 pounds. I don’t have a tape measure to check my measurements, but I’ve lost a bunch. I bought a pair of shorts a couple weeks ago with a 40″ waist, for example. Last winter I was wearing 44″ jeans. The shorts are now a little loose so I need to wear a belt with them, and when I shopped for a belt found that a 38 inch belt fit (not a lot of room to spare, on the second hole). So that’s going pretty good.
I’m running regularly but not yet daily. Some weeks I go four times, occasionally five, sometimes only three. My usual run is 2.5 miles. Not too shabby.
Today, I have had only one cup of coffee (and I’m writing this at 7 PM). That is partly because the kids and I have been doing things all day and I didn’t have the usual downtime to hang out and sip coffee; but I could have easily brewed a pot and had more than a single cup.
So there; a post where I barely mention kids nor whine about daily life. I feel good, I really do, a few people are noticing that I have lost weight which is a great bonus and reinforcer for the work I’ve done. As far as goals, ultimately I want to lose about 30 more pounds and get to an even 200. Don’t worry, I’ll say something if I get there 😛
