As of today, I have lost 24.8 pounds.  You can read, oh, the last 10 posts, for more details on my goals, diet, and progress.

Today, I want to write a bit about how my weight loss has already changed my life.  (I can’t wait to see how much better I’ll feel when I lose another 20, 30, or 50 pounds!)

I sleep better.

I enjoy spending time outside, playing in the yard, with kids.

I find myself looking for opportunities to go outside, for a walk, or a bike ride, or just to work in the yards.

I am down a full pants-size, and am this-close to a being down a shirt-size.

I have more energy.

Life is better.

Cool.  Be blessed.

My goal is to lose a total of 80 pounds.  I have 56.8 pounds to go.

In this particular race, I am definitely the tortoise, not the hare.

In this particular race, I am definitely the tortoise, not the hare.

I am losing just over 1 pound per week, which I have read is a “good thing”.

I am focusing on healthy, lean meat, lots of fruits and vegetables, some nuts, and lots of water.  I am walking 3 to 6 miles per day – and I feel great.

Be blessed.

My goal is to lose a total of 80 pounds.  I have 58 pounds to go.

Last month was difficult, but I stuck to my eating plan.  My weight fluctuated, up a few ounces, down a few ounces, but it remained relatively unchanged.

Last month was difficult, but I stuck to my eating plan.  My weight fluctuated, up a few ounces, down a few ounces, but it remained relatively unchanged.

Yesterday, I weighed in and was down a total of 22 pounds.  I waited one more day, to confirm, and then I posted.

I have been eating lean meats, fresh vegetables, nuts, and drinking water.

I am still walking 4 to 6 miles per day and I feel great.

Be blessed.

It feels good to get past “the big 20″.  Long-time readers will note, I’ve been here before, a couple of years back, so the goal, now, is to KEEP GOING.

I walked 2 miles yesterday and did lots of work around the house.  The weather is getting very nice and it’s good to be able to spend more time outside.

I’m starting a new exercise regimen today.  I’ll let you know how it goes.

Be blessed.

I hit a stall for a couple of weeks, but I kept eating the right foods and exercising – and this morning the scale moved.  (The scale actually hit 20 pounds lost a few days ago, but that was after being sick and that it was simply reflecting fluid loss.  I like to have a consistent weight loss, for a couple of days, before making it “official”.)

Today, I’m going to walk / run a total of 5 miles.  The weather is going to be super-awesome for the next several days, and it will be great to get outside and move.

Thanks for stopping by.  Don’t forget to follow me on twitter @NCN.  Be blessed!

My clothes are a little less snug.

Today, I walked a total of 2 miles.  I wanted to walk a few more, but the weather was awful.  So, instead, I mixed in some push-ups and sit-ups and I feel great.

As far as my eating – I am still eating lean meat, vegetables, fruits, and a few nuts.  Today, I only had about three sips of soda – just a little caffeine – and then I drank water.

Be blessed.

When I started over with a renewed focus on December 23rd, I created a plan revolving around eating real food and walking.

When I started over with a renewed focus on December 23rd, I created a plan revolving around eating real food and walking.

So far, I’m averaging between 4 and 6 miles of walking, per day.  I am eating lean meat, vegetables, fruit and nuts.  Last week, I probably ate a little too much – but I stuck to my eating plan.  (Since December 24rd, the only off-plan food was four small bites of pizza, eaten at a gathering where choices were very limited, and one small bowl of ice cream.  Other than that, I’ve stuck to the plan.)

Have a blessed day.  Rock on.

I went for two 2-mile walks today – one before work and one before supper.  The morning walk was at a slightly faster pace.

Over at No Credit Needed I recently wrote about how my wife and I save money when eating out – and I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of our favorite local places to eat sells an awesome grilled chicken breast and side salad – for less than $5.  I had that for lunch today.

I notice that I am sleeping better – this is probably a combination of less weight and more exercise.  I do find it difficult to fall asleep – especially if I exercise in the evening – but once I am asleep, I sleep well.

I plant to lose 67.4 more pounds.

It feels good to have folks notice my weight loss.  I have been here before, at that stage where the “newness” of the diet wears off, and it becomes “routine”.  That’s cool.

I have been walking 4 to 6 miles per day, usually in two sessions.  Today, I added back some high intensity interval training – and I feel like a million bucks.

Thanks for checking in – have a blessed day!

Daily, I am eating two or three meal, each consisting of some type of lean meat, a few nuts, some fresh vegetables or fruit.  I am focusing on real foods – and trying to stay on the lower-carbohydrate side of the menu.

I am also drinking plenty of water – with a diet soda from time to time.  I find that I don’t really like soda when I’m eating real foods.  I think there might be some sort of junk-food-to-soda connection.  Anyway, I’m staying hydrated – with just enough caffeine to wake up in the morning.

I am walking between 4 and 6 miles per day.  I’ve begun to add  a bit of jogging – but I think I am another 20 pounds or so away from really being comfortable when I run.

As for my weight, as of today, I am down 10.2 pounds.

My goal is to lose a total of 80 pounds.  I have 69.8 pounds to go.

Pretty cool.

Have a blessed day.
