Almost Four Months

Wow! Time flies.

I was part of a weight loss competition at work, and I was one of the top contenders. I still don't know who won yet though...

So, my progress...

As of two days ago, I am down 36.4 pounds!!!

I'm doing well with my eating and am very satisfied with my progress. I'm not a strict as some people are, but my weight keeps going down and I feel good, so that's good enough for me. I decided that after three months (and when the contest was over) I would give myself two "cheat days" a month. Well, after the final weigh-in, my family and I went to a local Indian buffet to celebrate.

I ate pretty modestly. I only had one piece of naan, which is impressive because I LOVE naan. But I did have a bottle of locally made honey ginger soda. I felt fine after the meal, but the next morning...WHOA!

Carb hangover!

Lots of water and a couple ibuprofen and I got through it, but man! I felt like crap!!! It confirmed to me that I am doing something right, and also, that I don't want to go back to what I was eating before.

Here's to the next 3 months!
