15th week weigh in

Weight today 236

Total weight loss to date 34#'s

I'm happy with the week. The 1# does not tell the tale of the work I've done this week and this is probably one of my favorite pounds that I've lost so far. I'm doing some very structured workouts right now that incorporate good ratios of strength training, cardio, and recovery time. It's an improvement over my personal "scattered" approach so I'm learning how to put some structure in where it was badly needed.

Little by little I am picking up small tools, learning new things, getting bits of equipment...slowly everything is changing in my life to gear it towards the direction of health and fitness being the normal "day to day" and not the old way where eating healthy, exercising, or activity based things where a diversion or departure from the norm.

At this almost 35# mark I am starting to get a few comments from people now saying they can tell I've lost weight. I figure by August/Sept. it's going to be strange running into people I have not seen in a while. It's one thing to see me having lost 35#'s but if it's 50#'s I expect that I'm going to look a lot different in the face and all...that is going to be sort of odd.

Anyway, mood is good, I'm feeling really good, plenty of pep, sleep is relatively above average, strength is increasing...things from old school diets like food cravings, hunger pains, that deprived feeling, feeling fatigued or exhausted with the menu...all of that stuff if non existent for me and mostly because my focus is on being healthy, fit, and living an active lifestyle NOT simply loosing weight.

It's been a good week for me. :)
