Another Day

And this post comes a little late tonight. There was a lot to do this morning as I wanted to be a little more active since my vacation is coming to an end. I did work out for over an hour this morning, and still maintaned both my diet and continued to document what I was eating in a food journal. I know that my mentality is beginning to change a little. As I was out and about this afternoon performing some errands, I did get hungry. Rather than pull over to one of the numerous fast food restaurants in the area, or sit down and have dinner someplace in which I was destined to get nothing healthy, I went to a place to get some Chicken Pho from a restaurant not far from where I was. It was delicious, but I concentrated on eating slowly and deliberately so that I would know when I was satisfied, not full. Once I got to that point, I had the rest packed up and gave it to my wife tomorrow for lunch. I was still able to make dinner tonight for the family to enjoy.

All in all, a healthy day. I feel good and certainly have more energy. Of course, it is easy to do this on a vacation. The really test comes next week once I start my new job, which is almost destined to be busy.

My son Gabriel kept patting my stomach this evening after I took him out of his bath. I told him he would not be able to do this forever; I promised him that it would go away! It is all about focusing on my rules.

And it is having some effect. I did weigh myself today.

Starting Weight (11/30/09): 272 lbs
Current Weight (12/2/09): 270 lbs
Net Loss: 2 lbs
Loss Needed To Achieve Goal: 98 lbs

Until tomorrow
