Weekly Update: July 19

Hit another milestone this week.  I am now down 81 total pounds since March 1, or 2 pounds this week.  It is awesome.  Thanks for the encouragement and prayers.

Progress Update - July 12

Tuesday was my anniversary...and I can't think of a better gift to give my wife than my health.  For the last 8 years of my marriage, I have been lazy, overweight, and excessively tired.  Now...looking ahead at the next MANY years of marriage, I will be active, healthy, and ALIVE!  It feels great!

After coming back from vacation on the 4th, I was able to get back into the swing of things and back to a normal eating/workout routine again...  This week, I lost 4 pounds - total to date is 79 pounds lost.  I am now 222 pounds.

My next goal is to get to 210 pounds by August 15th...that's a tall order, but I'm up for the challenge.

Progress Update: July 5

I have been delinquent with my posting for the last few weeks...partially because I was on vacation at our family lake cabin for 10 days, and partially because I was pretty busy at work getting ready for vacation.  Either way, I thought it was over-due for an update.  So I hit the 70 pound target on June 21...which was super exciting.  And last week on June 28, I made it below 230...so I hit the second goal of 230 by June.  Now I think I am going to run to 200 by October 21 when I turn 30.  Today, I weighed in at 226...so I am only 26 pounds from 200.
 
The entire weight loss journey was worth it when I was able to enjoy waterskiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, etc at the lake last week.  I had a blast!  In fact, my skiing was probably better than it was in high school...  I am no doubt in better physcial shape than I've ever been.
 
I did get lost of compliments from family who I hadn't seen for a while too...which was very fun.
 
On a side note, my wife hit the 40 pound milestone last week as well...so we are a combined 116 pounds down in just over 4 months. 
 
Pretty cool!
