Yes folks - you are reading that correctly - I weigh 218 pounds as of today, May 14, 2012. All of that hard work has finally shown on the scale, and all of those morning doing cardio have resulted in me getting to say - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
The skinny - I cut way back on my drinking, stopped eating out so much, started exercising regularly, and gave myself some cheat days along the way - and now the pants that I was wearing then are about 10 inches too big in the waist. Wow.
When I started out, I started writing on this blog just a way to motivate myself and keep on pushing. I thought that if I was accountable to myself via the blog, then I would be certain to work hard to meet my goals. I cannot say how much the blog helped, but I can say how fantastic it feels to be able to make this post on the blog. I weight 218!!! UNBELIEVABLE!
Well, I do not really have to say now, other than I am extremely happy and looking forward to continuing along the path towards my goals. I know this is not a destination, but rather a change in lifestyle, so I know that the path to health is just like the path to wealth - gotta keep on, keeping on. I plan on loosening up my diet a bit and not being quite so restrictive now that I am at 218. I would like to build some more muscle and maintain a weight around 220 pounds, which seems like a good healthy weight for me at this height.
Hard to type right now - as all I really want to do is say I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT! WOO HOO!
