So, today I have dropped below 210 for the first time in about 6 years. It is a pretty amazing feeling and I’m finally starting to actually SEE the results myself. Up until recently I haven’t really noticed anything unless its comparing pictures. The last week or so I am seeing it though, and its great. I won’t be updated the pictures though until March 1st. I think I’m going to start keeping it updated on the first of each month.
As the title shows I am currently sitting and 209lbs. My original goal was 190, based on what I was around when I was in the Marine Corps. After looking at myself in the mirror and pictures, it seems I may need to lose a little more than just the 190. Seems I did not account for the muscle mass I had then and there has been more fat content over the last few years than muscle mass. So now I’ll probably shoot for more like 175, get down to that, and hopefully the rest of this damn stomach fat will be gone.
As for just some personal thoughts, I am looking forward to Spring getting here. I have a few tests with Police Departments to go do, as well as camping season coming up. My first trip will probably be down to the Tucannon area, either for Turkey hunting season, or just when the lakes open up for fishing there. There are some good “hills” to climb, ok, they are bigger than hills.
Anyway, staying motivated and positive here and now I need to get some new clothes again, I’m swimming in my old ones again.
Congratulations! And also good job on thinking about your goals as you progress and being willing to revise them as you think is necessary. Set benchmarks along the way and you WILL make it! You are awesome!
