Today I reached a major milestone in this new lifestyle I have embraced. I say new lifestyle because I don’t consider it a diet at all, but rather a new way of living. In this process, I went from a guy counting calories and reducing the intake of certain food items (namely meat and dairy) in order to lose weight, to a guy who had embraced a new way of treating his body. What I do now relative to my food intake is more of a lifestyle than a diet. I am proud of what I’ve been able to attain with regard to self-esteem, with running and with my health. I’m adding years to my life; years that I will be able to enjoy growing older with my family and friends.
Today’s weight: 181.5
Last week: 182.5
July 20: 231.5
Total loss to date: 50 lbs.
This is quite an achievement, Gordon! Many will congratulate you and sing your praises on Twitter, DM, etc. Bask in the glow! It is much deserved! 🙂
I wish there was a facebook like button right about now! Congrats G I bet it feels great to have all your hard work paying off. Keep on keeping on!! Congrats!!
Great job. You've fully embraced this new lifestyle and I'm sure it will treat you well for years to come!
Nice work. I started dropping weight when I was about your age and have kept the vast majority of it off for the past 6 years. (I sort of slipped after I remarried … better food combined with less time on my bike.)
thanks for giving information
