One man reaching..

So as of today I am down 70 pounds total and 56 since 8/22/08. I am now more then half the way to my target weight of 199. Now I know the weight loss is going to slow in the coming months. It has already slowed some, From 8/22/08 to 9/19/08 I lost 34 pounds and from 9/20/08 till now 10/13/08 I have lost 22 pounds and I know I am not going to to lose another 12 in 6 days. But I have been watching my food intake and making sure I get my protein and have started having the vegetables I can eat during this stage. I have not run into many foods I can not tolerate. Recently I have been worried about how much I can eat but as I wrote last night I have found out that my mental stopping point is the right one. Tonight I was eating and realized that stop point at the last second. All went well but I found humor because I was eating extra green beans. To me that proved that I have not been writing lies. I am really making those healthy choices with my food. Cravings have decreased ten fold and the healthy living skills that I went over with my nutritionist have stuck. YIPPIE!!!!!!!



This weekend I am going to my wife's family reunion. I believe this will be a big test for me and my healthy eating choices. Whenever we would go to PA to see Kara's family we have always eaten well and I do not mean healthy. This is my first time back since the surgery so that is why I believe this will be a test. I want to take my mountain bike and push up bars with me so I can get some exercise when I am there to keep me focused on being healthy.

Well have fun everyone. Night.
