Update on Progress

Scottie, before pic Scottie, after pic

So… It’s June. The first pic, me at 172 pounds in January of this year. The second pic is me at 135 pounds in June of this year.

I’ve got another 5 pounds to lose, but I’m not really “working” it right now. I’m still watching what I eat during the day, but generally eating a bigger dinner than I ought to for weight loss. So I’ve been hovering at the 135 mark for a few weeks… and I’m ok with that.

I need to get back into my water-and-stairs routine daily and stop eating out so much to shed those last few pounds, but I just haven’t been in the “zone” lately to want it enough. Not to worry- I’m so close I won’t drop the ball now! Especially when next weekend is earmarked for a new wardrobe purchase!

The bottom line is that I feel great, better than I’ve felt in years. My skin is better, my heartburn issues are much less than they were, even my cracked heels are healing up some. With a predominant history of diabetes in my family, the extra weight I was carrying was just asking for trouble. And I have more energy!

    Congratulations Scottie, looking good.

    I’m unfortunately back to the weight I was when I started this contest, not due to going off the wagon per se, but more to do with tearing my calf, which stopped all exercising for 6 weeks. I only just started running again on Monday, and boy am I out of shape.

    Give it another couple of months, and I’ll be where I want to be :)
