I feel bad about last week for a few reasons. First of all I didn’t work out at all last week. I ate more than I should have. Through it all though God was gracious to me and I didn’t gain a pound. So I began working out again (after my week long break) this past Saturday and things have been going well. I felt a level of frustration after upping my calories to 2000a day. The two weeks I did it I saw a combined weight loss of 5 pounds. Before this I was averaging 5-7 a week. So this week (Saturday-today) I dropped my caloric intake back to 1600 calories and the results have been great. I lost another 4 pounds in the last 3 days. I’m starting to notice little things as well like;
- my fingers are much thinner
- the knuckles in the back of my hand of sticking out now
- my jaw line is re-appearing (slowly but it is getting noticeable)
These are just little things but big things to me. It helps keep me going. I am hearing more comments from people as well. One lady this past weekend at church said, “Hey it’s great seeing less of you around these days.” I thought it was pretty funny. Most people would have taken it as an insult but I knew she meant nothing but good things by it.
So now I’m at 360. I’m down 37 pounds. I am looking forward to losing 13 more to make it to my half-way point. I want to celebrate losing 50 pounds and then again once I hit the 100 pound mark. I’m thinking of tattoos. Any suggestions?



I just finished week 5 of my journey to 100. I’m already feeling a lot better but I still have a good ways to go. When I started this I never imagined our students would rally around me to see me do this. The response has been a little overwhelming. The scary thing is that they are really watching me to see how I do and if I fail or not. At the same time it’s like a huge weight has been taken off of my shoulders too. To have not just one person but about 100 students get behind me on this has been amazing. Each week they are asking me what I have lost. Some are starting to tell me that they can see the difference already and that they hope I make it. I will make it.
