Measurements

We took my measurements at the gym this morning, before my training session. Since I joined in February, I've lost 10 inches on my chest (buh-bye man-boobs! I won't miss you when you're all gone!), 13 inches on my waist, and 12 along my hips. My thighs are almost 2 inches smaller than they were a month ago, and over 7" from my first measurements.

That is all.

No major developments this week. We're taking my measurements at the gym today, so I may post that if I have a chance later.

Wow. I only have another fifty pounds to go. In contrast, on Week 13 I'd just lost 50 pounds. I figure about three more months, and I'll be at 200 lbs.

Ran into some folks this weekend, who haven't seen me in a while. It's kind of fun to see someone's jaw drop when they figure out who this skinny guy they're talking to is.

Lessons learned from this weekend's Tour de Vail/Buffalo Lake Days:

  • Owning a bottle of sunblock doesn't do you much good if you leave it on the bathroom counter when you go away for the weekend.
  • If you know, two months beforehand, that you're going to be required to walk 3 miles at once, go ahead and get some comfortable tennis shoes.
  • Bright red skin really screws up the color balance in a picture.
I know these both seem obvious, but people forget. Okay, I forgot. At least I've got my annual sunburn out of the way. Now I can stay inside for the next 11 1/2 months.

So yeah... there you are. I'm pretty excited about this week's total, but I've also had a few days to get used to the idea. We took my measurements at the gym on Thursday, and I was down 99 1/2 lbs total. Close, but not quite there yet. I figured I'd break through this week. It spoiled the surprise a little, but I guess I'll have to live with that :-)

Awesome! Closing in on Triple Digits... We'll be there before we know it.

Any doubts I may have had over the past few weeks? Yeah, that last comparison pretty much took care of them. It helps, psychologically, to see the changes side-by-side like that.
