Monday is Weigh In Day! Day 43 of 66.

Down 4 lbs this week after being up 1 lb last week for a total of 13. 5 lbs in 43 days.

Wearing a suit that I have not been able to put on in two years.

Excited for core fusion tonight.

Feeling really good.

Maybe even on the cusp of a habit?

Half way to 66

Today is day 33 of my 66 day renewal. My eating is much better, except that I drank too much wine at a gala last night and feel crummy today because of it! I am exercising regularly and have lost ten + pounds. I weigh in again on Monday and am curious as to how I am doing. My body feels stronger, I sleep better and my clothes are fitting better. I have only skipped a workout when I was sick and make sure to do something 6 days a week.

Is this a habit yet? How about half way to a habit. It no longer feels like work but rather the toolkit I need to get healthy. I love my @66days twitter feed, I have sourced some of the most interesting voices in health and wellness and relish checking in on what they have to say.

Until Monday ... here's to half way!

Day #30

So I am down 10.5 lbs and working hard at keeping the momentum going. I got past a few historical hurdles, in fact.

1. Sickness: Traditionally, when I get sick during a "health kick" and I give up. I feel like I have become weak, eaten comfort food and really what is the point. This time I stuck with my goals and my nutrition and am healthy again after a nasty viral/bacterial infection and am still on program.

2. Open bar event: Anything that has an open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres has been a major pitfall for me. This past Saturday night I managed to eat and drink within reason at a family bar mitzvah. I have to say I was super proud.

So here I am making progress and I am anxious about continuing my success and keeping it off and staying strong and ignoring the voices of  The Resistance as Seth Godin calls it. The Resistance is what I fight everyday.

I have a ways to go (at least 15 to 20 lbs) but I am motivated and well on my way!
