Holy Cow. Never did I think when I woke up this morining would the scale give what it didn. I knew I had lost but not that much. Goes to show hard work at the gym (1 hr every night), lots of water (at least 8 cups a day) and lower cal (under the limbo pole) pays off. I do think my limb pole was a little low. I have really been missing my afternoon snake of cottage cheese and crackers so I am going to go back to my 1600 after this week. But I didn't hurt to try it one bit. And I have had these big of losses before at 1600.

On my way to work I was thinking back 6 years ago when I slipped over the 300 mark. Then is when I started rationalizing that 300 is just plain fat and one or two lbs over isn't that big a deal because no one can tell. Some how that crap stuck in my head and I kept rationalizing my way right up to 327. Right now I have lost 22.4 lbs and I dont care that is a lot for anyone wether you weigh 100, 200, 300 or more. You can't just rationalize it away. It takes work. But if you are willing to put in the work the rewards are great. I feel better, my firbo pain is more tolerable, my heart is getting in shape and I just have a much better attitude about life. If I feel this good now what is it going to be like when I get 150 lbs off? Anyway that was my ramble for the day.

Hope you all have an awsome day like I am going to have and keep making healthy choices.

305.6 lb Lost so far: 21.4 lb.    Still to go: 140.6 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
