It's not quite as fat Albert. I had set a goal for myself to lose 20 lbs over Christmas break. Pretty ambitious goal, and of course I didn't hit it, but I did drop about 15. That puts me an an even 30 since this time last year. I've gone through spurts of trying, usually only for a couple weeks, then mostly maintaining in between. This time though the motivation has held much higher, and it shows. 5 weeks, consistent 3 lbs per week, eating a little better, and keeping the workouts going.
Now that school has started it will get a bit tougher, with time at a premium convenience food will become more tempting, and finding workout time will be less tempting. There are some little things I can do to help of course, school has a subway on campus, just gotta avoid the meatball and go with the turkey and ham, most of my time between classes will be used for homework, but I can get in a mile or two walk when time allows.
What I really need is some workout options that are more exciting. Hopefully this spring I'll have enough loot to buy a kayak, I know fishing trips will keep me working out all summer. Finding someone to play tennis, or basketball with would be great too. Much more entertaining than lifting weights in the basement, which would help keep motivation up, plus then you have a commitment to someone else that you don't want to break.
Time and money will be a problem for any of these, but I think the outcome will be worth it. So...who's up for tennis?
