So before I started hitting the gym and watching what I was eating, I was always fluctuating between 235-240 pounds. Sometimes a little over 240. I was wearing pants with a size 42 waist, which gave me about half an inch of comfort space between my waist and the cloth.
Today I finally bought a scale, figuring I prolly should keep track of this to see if there's any progress. I'd use the scales at the gym to keep track-ish, but I needed something more constant. I had weighed myself at my friend's house last week, and I just needed to make sure that something wasn't off with the scale there (it wasn't a digital read out...I'm wary of the analog ones...)
According to both scales I'm at 226 lbs now. I was in shock when I first read it at my friend's house. I was wondering if it had anything to do with me being sick the week before. It's been about two weeks since my cold, and I'm maintaining the loss, so yay.
Before I bought the scale today, I went out to buy some new jeans. The pants I'm currently wearing are a bit too large. I actually had to buy a new belt a couple of weeks ago. Both new pair of jeans and belt are at a size 40 now. I was psyched that I dropped a pant size. that I splurged a bit at C28, where I was buying the jeans, and bought the expensive shirt I've been wanting for months as a reward. I think the style is very me and it kinda goes with the tattoo on my back.
Feeling accomplished thus far. And I'd be a terrible liar is I said that I don't like it. I've been looking at the whole thing as a new art form for me. Body modification without all the piercing and metal. I get some fun with trying to buy/make meals that taste good, but provide some kind of nutritional benefit for me. Culinarily speaking, a whole new world to wander about in.
Truely though, I'm digging all of it right now because it's all just something new for me to learn and discover.
I'm not yet where I'd like to be.
Although, for me to be completely satisfied, I'd have to set a goal.
I'm still not fond of setting goals. And as far as I'm concerned this is all just a work in progress. I'd like to ride it out and see where it all leads to. What can I say? It's the nomadic nature in me.
Need to lose more of the Buddah belly definately.
Anyways, bed.
