Onwards

Two weeks ago I wrote about achieving a goal I set back in May. I had no timeline to reach the goal so I can't say I did it faster or slower than expected.

What I can say is that unlike when I have done diets in the past, I did not congratulate myself by going back to poor nutrition days. I am down more and now feel it is time to set another goal. I'm not sure how realistic it is to set a target date, but I'm going to make it October 1. From my iPhone image you can see my new weight, but also see the icon that shows I am in the moderately obese range for my height, age and sex. I want to get that into the green and I think that 175 pounds (another 3kg.) should do it.

I am getting a good deal of positive reinforcement about how I look physically with my new body shape. I'm feeling good about it and noticing how much less pressure I am putting on my knees which have suffered a lot over the years from playing sports and being overweight. The other day I even carried my own golf clubs for a round and am going to do it again today.

As golf season is beginning to wane, I plan to join the gym and be more committed to going and do what some friends have suggested with resistance training. I'll likely start using more of the program products that support activities such as weight training.

Another friend has suggested that I do a post writing up what it is I do in a day for food intake with the program I am on and I will consider doing that.

For now, I'm pleased to show off my almost flat belly!
