New Years Day (the day after too)

It feels good to feel good

Over the past couple weeks but especially today I have started to feel different. Usually it feels like I have a huge spare tire around me (which I still do). However, I can tell that my stomach is starting to thin out a bit. That is where I carry almost all of my weight so for me to feel a difference there it is huge for me. Sometimes I wonder why I am doing all of this work for these slow changes but this is why. This is the motivation I have needed for the last 2 weeks. During the holiday season I had several "cheat days" and the scale reflected that each and every morning after. The good news is I am at 49.2 lbs lost right now and am hoping to hit 50 tomorrow or Sunday with some good workouts. It has been so great meeting others in the same shoes as me through myfitnesspal as well as dietbet. It is an insane amount of motivation to watch others become healthy and pushes me to continue for myself. I just have to say thank you very much.

Work giving me a fitbit for free

I heard my work is buying our while department any fitbit that we want. How cool is that? If it comes to fruition I may sell my beloved body media and get that money back and use the other one for free! Love my job!

Crappy Sundays and weigh in tomorrow

Yesterday was a tough day. My wife and I were out and about a lot of the day. It made it tough to eat healthy. I ate several things that I probably shouldn't have and the scale showed that this morning as well. Sundays are going to be the tough days to stay healthy because we have family dinners 3 out of the 4 weeks. I don't have much of a choice over what is cooked. I guess I will just have to be more careful and restrain more. Here is to a good week.

I am excited for tomorrow! It is the day that I get to weigh in for the final of the dietbet that I got to be apart of. I lost over my 4% and will be making some money. I have no idea how much but will be excited to see how much. Now to decide if I want to reinvest it into another diet bet over the next month or cash it out. :)
