Day 100 + 4 Months

Happy Canada Day!

Yes, it's a new month and time to weigh in. This past month included a decadent trip to Cancun Mexico, and lots of buffet meals, but I still tried to keep it together. When traveling, I try and get to the exercise room, and ride my exercise bike when I'm at home. In fact, one day I rode my bike in the morning, and went to the exercise room at work during the afternoon. I'm sure I gained 10 lbs of lean muscle that day!

I no longer feel like I'm on a diet. It just feels like living. I used to be very conscious of my food intake, and now I just eat what feels right. Often, that means passing on dessert, or choosing some fruit and yogurt instead of a calorie-rich snack. I really think I could do this forever, and that's a good thing, because forever is as long as I'll need to.

Post 100 Days Change: -1

It must be incredibly boring reading these reports of how my weight has stayed stable for another month. Kinda like watching paint dry, without the intoxicating aroma. Well, I'm happy you're still reading, and I do feel you out there. It still motivates me, and helps to keep me away from the common statistic of weight loss followed by massive weight gain. Thanks!

I'm down a pound from the end of the 100 days, and half a pound from last month, even with the Mexico trip, so that's pretty good. The other day I left the house wearing my 'typical' shorts, forgetting that 'typical' was a year ago, and I struggled a bit to keep them up. It was a nice reminder of how far I've come. As a tradition, I always take a family picture on Canada Day. Last year's picture had some puffy dough-boy sitting there with the rest of my family. This year's picture will look much nicer! Who is that handsome devil? ;-)
