So how was everyone's week? Fulfilling and fun I hope. The week was a good one for me. Weekend is good too. My wife & I were out and about this morning and will soon be back out for more. Good times, so I have very little time to get this post out, but out it will go.
My Sunday shout out this weekend goes to Teresa over at Today Is A Good Day To Diet, she had a birthday this week. In her birthday post she included a 'Call to Action' for her coming year. The entire post is beautiful; lost weight, gained it back, acceptance, and gratefulness; just a very well written self-reflection. The icing on this cake for me was her 'Call to Action', just read it and I think you will feel as I was; moved and inspired.
My week was a much better display of consistency. Funny however that the previous inconsistent week brought me slightly greater loss than this past week. The human body is a funny device at times. Yes, funny. I could easily replace the word funny with frustrating in those sentences. But nope, no way. I continue to make progress and I refuse to find any frustration in progress of any kind. Sure, I'd love to see a slightly faster pace, just a tad; but patience will do as much to see me to my goal as effort.
Today I register a mark of 53% pounds lost.
All totaled 64.5 pounds has been lost in the past twenty-nine weeks, 1 of those this past week.
Today I weighed in at 255.5 pounds.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Patience is key. Effort requires so much more energy. All patience requires is for us to sit back and take each day as they come.

ReplyDeleteGreat attitude too ... not to be frustrated with forward progress. It is progress, after all! Wow, less than 30 weeks, and nearly 65 lbs gone. That is just downright wonderful!!
Put me down for a banana and raspberries, Patrick (if you're still doing a fruit count).
Awesome Patrick! That's one more pound - GONE FOREVER!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had 6 servings today. I don't care what Mandy says, she's going fruitarian. She'll probably get some henna tattoos too (i love those!) and start doing yoga.
ReplyDeleteYes sir!!! Congrats on your awesome weight loss total thus far! Being patient and not letting any frustration into the equation will be rewarding in the end.
