230 down and 110 to go. I would be perfect if I was 9 feet tall!

My plan has been much more consistent (yet slow) than my posting on this Biz-nitch. I am up to 216 pounds lost over 25 months. Not exactly warp speed but I feel successful. The last chunk is off thanks to carb cycling.

Seems like I could be married to this one for a while.

Happy Holidays!

OK.....Not Bad!

I have been frustrated with myself throughout this journey. I just took a look at it from a different angle. True, it has been slow. When I started this "last effort" I needed to lose 350 pounds. As of right now that number is down to 170.

I am more than half way there. Clearly to far into this to stop now or ever.

The best part has been what I have learned about healthier living. Thank you google!

Sweet!

Son of a bitch. It's the beginning of a month and once again I am re committing myself.
I need to break this cycle.
August sucked.  I sucked in August.

I would like to be the cool guy who jumped on the lose all my fat motorcycle and a year later it is gone. But, I am not. It has been a struggle lately. This time I do not feel like I have failed or jumped off the tracks.

I go in streaks where I cruise and then stall. I have found that when I am in a stall it helps to change up my routine so that is my direction.

I just had one of those sweet Rockie moments. I did not hear the music or even think about it at the time. As soon as it was over I did though.

You talk yourself into not being a quitter. Pain don't hurt, you know?

I think that is my first "Dalton" from "Roadhouse" reference. It is about time.

You watch the Fat Loss TV shows and they are losing 20+ pounds in a week. Someone like me thinks they can and should do that. Maybe I could in a week........once. It helps to realise that isn' really the real world for most people.

I have been losing 3-4 pounds a week for a while now. You know what? That is OK.

I have been able to stick in the neighborhood of my big plan for long enough to lose 170 pounds.

Feels pretty good. I have excuses that I use every day. To make progress on top of that is a win in my mind.

This is as close to actually making a "lifestyle change" as I have ever been. Not much else I want to say right now.

375 is the next big number to reach in my mind...........

20 to go to get it.........

Little steps..............

Time to stop watching those shows.......for me at least.

I have read many things about when you should eat. I see so much that it is hard to tell what is the right way to go. It is my experience so far that the earlier you can shut down your food intake the better. It seems I lose a significant amount more if I do not eat past 5PM even if I still consume the same amount.

That is a huge change for me but it is something I am getting used to. Vinny dislikes this a ton though.

I have talked recently about being less obsessed about the process. I feel like I am getting sucked in again. Not sure I can do much about that other than being aware and responding correctly when I eventually cave.

If I am able to do that I will know I am learning some valuable lessons.
