I Actually Enjoy The Gym, go figure.

I cannot believe I am saying this but I have actually started to enjoy the gym. Just a few posts back, I was wondering how anyone in their right mind could actually enjoy working out. Well, I am one of them now. I think what changed for me is I started taking my IPOD and listening to a playlist that I created especially for working out. I also watch SportsCenter while on the Elliptical and get caught up on all the scores. I no longer watch the clock wondering when this workout will be over. I think results is also a driving force, even though my weight loss has slowed a bit, I continue to lose inches and tone up a bit. As you will see on my ticker, I am down to 241lbs and more importantly, Only one point away from no longer being technically obese. I know medically, you have to be below 30 to not be obese and I will be there real soon, I am at 30.9 right now. I can tell you this, I do not feel obese, I feel great and a hell of a lot better that I did when I weighed 315lbs  less than 4 months ago.

Finally, Broke the 250 barrier.

I had my goal for August to be under 250, I did not make it. I exercised more and ate less but I was on a stall that was hard to break. I weighed in this morning at 248 so at least the stall is broken and we are headed in the right direction again, I am only 4 days late. I am going to decrease my portions even more but increase my protein throughout the day. I am taking my NUT's advice and decreasing my exercise a little so my body does not go into survival mode, at least until I can get in more calories. I think it was this advice that helped to break my stall. I know it has been over 20 years since I have been below 250, it is a great feeling.
