Wow, I knew it had been a couple weeks since my last post, but I just looked and realized July 7th was actually my last update. Things have been pretty crazy busy since then, at home and at work.
I am proud to say that since that last update, I've lost another 15 pounds, passing a couple significant milestones in the process. Way back when I started this thing at the beginning of April, I kind of hand August 1st as a goal in my mind to be under 300. Well, weigh-in was August 4th that week, and I came in at 297.
Another milestone that I honestly never thought too much about getting to, mostly because it seemed so ridiculous, was a total weight loss of 50 pounds. Well, official weigh-in isn't until Wednesday, but after weighing in at 293 last week, I "unofficially" weighed in under 292 mid-week.
I really wasn't sure if I'd be getting to some of these numbers, as my brother got married last weekend and of course I had to enjoy in the merriment, which meant lots of calories. And a couple weeks before that was his bachelor party, which meant many calories (especially the liquid kind). Still, with some hard work and a little bit of luck, I actually managed to lose a couple pounds both of those weeks.
So with 50 pounds down, I guess it's time to start thinking about some more goals. 280 is one number I had thought about quite a bit early on, and it's certainly within reach, and probably within the next month or so. 223 is a number I would love to get to, which would mean a total weight loss of 119 pounds. That may be close to a year down the road, but it would be almost too crazy to even think about.
I'm too busy to get too wrapped up in a lot of this long-term stuff, so I'm just going to concentrate on hitting the 2-3 pounds per week, mix in the occasional 5 pound week and see where I can go.
