Day 77 of 103in365 *Round 3* 25/103

Hey There!

It's been awhile ... but I.m back!

I am back on the proverbial wagon once again (and last again BTW!)

This is Round 3 as it is the 3rd time I have started on this journey to lose 103 LBS in 365 days. I know I said this last time I restarted, but here it is again. This time feels different. Different than the last time it felt different even.

So here are the stats. On December 26, 2014 I weighed in at 320. That is  Day 1 of the Round 3.

Now fast forward to today, Day 77, and I am down 25 LBS!

Good start but I still have 15 LBS to go to be at my lowest weight in this Journey Trilogy. At, or before, Day 365, I will weigh 217 or less. 213 would have been the end goal of Round 1 so I am thinking that I might set my sights on that eventually. For now however, I am going to get to at most 217 by Christmas!

As mentioned above, I am trying to put my finger on what feels so different this time from all the other times it has felt so different. I will attempt to figure it out and get it into words at some point, but for now I suppose I am just another year wiser and another year tireder of being overweight.

So here is the buzz at the school yard as to how I have lost the first 25. I have not had ANY soda since the Rose Bowl! (Which we won, thank-you very much! That is January 1st for those of you who are not College Football fans.) I have also not had fastfood since before that! So no soda and no fastfood helps to make Scuba shrink. Go figure. Stop the presses! Who would have thunk it?

I also have been walking a ton. I walk on many of my breaks at work and I walk with my boys several times a week. This has really helped motivate me to eat better since, as I have talked about before, I am someone that eats a lot better when I am exercising on the regular. I am just more invested in my health and don't want to negate the workout I already did or am going to do that day. I think many people are like me in the that way, so we just all need to get moving so that we have more motivation to eat a more healthy diet and eat healthier portions of that healthy diet. If you already do this, keep it up!

Well, that is all for today. I just wanted to let you know that I'm back and I'm not going to just drop of the face of the interwebs again this time. I am going to post every week for the rest of the year, at least, and I am going to finish my journey this time!

I AM GOING TO FINISH MY JOURNEY THIS TIME!

That felt good. Now I just need to keep putting my money where my mouth is, and I will. Oh yes, I will.

Have a great week!

Scuba
