50 pounds down! 60 pounds to go!
I reached a milestone!
As of this morning I am down 50 pounds since my December 17, 2003 surgery date. I started at 260 and am 210 today. I TOTALLY stalled for two months there. I was stuck at 219-222 for two months. That was rough.. but I also was not exercising. So two weeks ago I got back on my mountain bike after a few years off of it and I started riding 10-15 miles a day for about an hour. The weight started melting off.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this time is not nearly as easy as it was the first time around. By this point, with my first surgery, I was down 90 pounds. Without worrying about exercise at all.
My next goal is to be under 200 by my birthday which is August 28. I'm not sure what goal is after that. I would like to be at my goal weight by my one year surgery date. I have set my goal weight at 150.
We also have a major family reunion coming up November 20.
Just let me get under 200 and I'll start setting new goals. :)
No matter what, I have to stay on that bike. This is not as easy this time
around as it was the first time!
