If 20, why not 30?

Published by Dysantic at 10:40 am under I am a fat bastard

Today, I hit a milestone: I weigh 179.1 pounds. I haven’t weighed this much (or less) since before I started working at easyDNS in 2004.

Two and a half months of eating right (for the most part), being more active (biking, Ultimate, Spinning, etc), and drinking less. 20 pounds. I picked up one of the 20 pound weights I have, and was somewhat taken aback… this is what I am no longer carrying? Good lord.

So, as my target weight was 175 pounds, and I am almost there, I started thinking: If 20, why not 30…? I’m not starving myself; I’m working hard, and eating right (again, for the most part), so 170 pounds shouldn’t be too hard to achieve. As such, I have updated my target weight: 170 pounds. Hopefully, the extra 10 pounds is all contained within my gut. :-D

If I can do all this in two and a half months, I’m sure I can do a bit more before the summer is over. I’m not at the point where I am considering signing up for a year membership with Quad just yet, but once it gets too cold to ride my bike to and from work, I’ll seriously think about it. I’m really liking the extra energy I have these days, and also liking the fact that I’m not as chubby in the face!!

I wonder how long it’ll take to hit 170… ;-)

    Mental note: Scan stores for spandex bike shorts with tacky neon stripe on outer leg for Evan.

    Keep it up!

    The tackier, the better! I have no shame!

    Thanks Laura! :-D

    Yay! 170…you can do it.

    Please do not post any pictures of yourself in spandex. I read this site at work.

    Thanks Andy!

    Don’t worry, I won’t be posting pictures of myself in spandex on the site. There are enough pictures of people in spandex on the internet; I don’t need to add to them!!

    *shudder*
