First weigh in after my doctors appt. I like the drop, but I also know there are a couple mitigating factors. 1) I had clothes on last week, and 2) The beginning weight was taken on the doctor's scale, not mine. On the other hand, I've been drinking a lot of water over the last couple days, so I might be retaining a bit. I would like to be below 260 by the 4th.
I hate looking in the mirror lately (I know...denial...), but it seems like my stomach is getting a little less bulgy. I will certainly continue to weigh myself, but I am just as interested in how I feel. For instance, when I was heavier and in worse shape, I would sit or lean on something at every opportunity. Now I can now stand for at least an hour (case in point, the Connecticut DMV). Also, my back would hurt if I walked "too long," and certainly if I were walking uphill. It no longer hurts and I can walk multiple miles at a time.
Albeit two dimensions, I'm obviously looking at the small stomach bulge as a positive, but I'm looking forward to when my mid-section falls below my ribs when I lay on my back.
I've only walked 1,445 so far and my Fitbit says I did not walk 250 in the 7:00 or 9:00 hours, so I have to get on my horse today. I'll go for my walk at lunch, but I also have to get moving for the rest of the time. It's already 77 here on it's way to 80 this afternoon. Sounds like another pool day (if I can get home before my wife picks up the kids)!!!
