5!

I just finished my 5th cardio session for the week!  I'm very pleased with myself right now.  I'm hoping I hit the 10lb mark this week.


Here's an old blog post.  4 years ago, it took me 14 weeks to lose 10% of my body weight.  Right now I'm at 3.5 weeks.


Week 14
I had to weigh in 2 days early this week as I leave for vacation Friday, but...SUCCESS!! I have reached my first goal. I have lost 10% of my starting weight.
It has been a little over 3 months, I started June 15th, not that long ago. In that time I have lost 38.5 lbs, I have gone from a size 50 waist to a 46, 3xl shirt to 2xl shirt, I am off my blood pressure medicine, have more energy and just feel better. All that after 3 short months and I am not even a quarter way to my goal weight.
Like I said, I am eating balanced meals and keeping myself to 2000 calories a day. I have not been hungry once and I am not feeling unsatisfied with my food choices.
The only thing I would say is absolutely necessary to dieting is to write down every piece of food you put in your mouth. Keep a notebook in your pocket, use a pda(my choice), keep a log on your pc.
If you have to lose weight stop putting it off. Start today. Find a diet that works for you and get moving, go for a walk, get a treadmill or join a gym.
