Weight Watching - July 04, 2010: A Major Milestone!!!
I didn't post last week's weight-watch update, since trixstir and I were in Calgary at the time and I didn't have access to my scale. Returning from the city though, I noticed that I had gained a couple of pounds. Literally, about two pounds. Pretty impressive actually, given the visiting and subsequent over-indulgence of glorious munchings... ;)
This weekend however, I have reached a major personal milestone! As a result, this entry is public, whereas the previous ones had all been "friends only". Most people who read my LJ are on my friends list, but I know there are folks (like my mom, for example) who don't have their own LJ account, and thus can't see my friends-only postings. This one is very important IMO though, so thus it's public. And the great milestone moment is...
For the first time in over 15 years, my weight has dropped below 300 pounds!!!!
Yes!!! For the record, my weight today came in at 299.0 pounds! For me, this is a major major milestone! I've tried diets and such before, but I'd never managed to drop below 312 pounds, much less finally break that 300 pound barrier! It's an awesome feeling to finally see those numbers come up below 300, and even better to know that I did it the old-fashioned way; No gimmicks, no miracle-diets, no medications (other than a B-vitamin tablet once a day) or weird science... Just plain old, "Eat less, eat healthy, exercise or work more."
Now to celebrate, I'm going to pig out on a large plate of French-Fries smothered in gravy! Ah, Heck with that! Bring on the large order of Poutine! ;)
