100 kgs!!!!

Well, that's one goal down. 100kgs! Feels great, looks great. By great I mean there is still a few kgs to lose if I want to see a 6 pack, but anything under 100kgs is a very healthy weight for me. I went out to play a little golf today, and I hit some amazing shots. I think I definitely benefited from having 10 kgs lost.

First, I'll wrap up my week, which saw an as promised 3 glasses of wine plus a bourbon Thursday, then 2 wines and 3 bourbons last night. Given the higher than expected drinking, I've burned through most of my bottle of bourbon, and thought that should last at least a month, but it's only been 20 days and will be gone by 22 days. Not good. Food wise, no snacking at all, so on target there.

Now for the overall milestone, 110 kgs to 100 kgs. I think this is the end of the 7th week, so that's 10 kgs in 7 weeks, or 22 pounds. My lightest adult weight is 92 kgs, and I looked like a stick figure at that point, so as you can imagine, I'm pretty close to where I want to be. I don't want to look like a stick, so really anything around 96-97 with a little more muscle than my 92 would be absolutely perfect. I still have a little more weight around my thighs and very bottom part of the stomach (hardest to lose), and could use more muscle, but in any case I'm in the ball park now. 7 weeks. Not really that hard, actually fun a lot of the time. I really like the ideas with this diet. Don't starve yourself, just cut out the sugary crap, and have anything you want on cheat diet. Easy. And as hard as it can be on a Sunday, or when you don't have a meal planned for a Monday or something, the cheat day really does brighten up the last couple of days of the week, as well as the fact your body is almost always at a new low weight by then.

My other goal i set was to get to Christmas, and that looks like a given now. Beyond that I don't even need to set goals, I think I've already made the changes I need to not look back at eating as poorly as I was before. My biggest challenge is alcohol, and after tomorrow, I want a super lean week with that, so that is definitely my number one challenge this next week. I take that challenge much more seriously now, as I feel well in control of food right now. Perhaps it will work well to be able to not worry as much about the food, and focus right in on alcohol. Again, I could go dry for a week, but my big challenge is good long term balance, so one week off, or even a month off doesn't really mean anything for 10 years from now.

Anyway, really pleased with everything right now. I hoped something good would happen from this diet, but actually seeing it happen, and seeing my habits get so much better is obviously something to be proud of.
