More New Clothes

I finally went down and got new clothes, again. I am trying to keep the span of time between my garment purchases as far apart as possible because of the cost. I get sick and tired of my belt holding up an excessive amount of material, but it goes to illustrate the amount of weight I am losing, so it can actually be encouraging despite the annoyance. I decided to go work out again, too. I didn’t run today, but instead I weight lifted for half an hour, and then swam for another half hour. It was really nice to be back in the water. It has been a couple weeks, and I have been busy with work, too. This summer has been much too busy compared to the previous summers, but I am not really complaining too much.

I was also taking a look at the website for Radiant, and I found out that they have a home kit available for out of state residents. I thought this was handy for if I was ever out of state and still wanted to do their program. I don’t like having to go in a whole lot, but I wouldn’t do it any other way, since it is a great accountability tool. If I ever moved, though, I would never go to any other location except for Radiant, so it was nice to see that they had other options out there. It has been duly noted, that’s for sure.

Four more pounds gone! We’re at 62 pounds lost, which means I weigh . . . 216!

Anniversary Coming Up. . .

Workout was great, but was very tiring. I jogged a mile, but I only lifted for about 15 minutes. I just didn’t have it in me to keep going after the long work week and a few stressful days at the “office.” I lost another 4 pounds, though. I have been sticking so close to the diet it is ridiculous, but it is working, and I am going to be looking pretty good in the next couple of weeks leading up to my anniversary. It is really pretty exciting actually.

Speaking of anniversaries, if there are any suggestions to help make the 13th even better, let me know. This will be our 10 year anniversary, so I want to make it really special. I am taking my wife, Kelly, to British Columbia and we’re going to enjoy some of the sights and sounds that part of the world has to offer. I got her a great looking necklace and earring set, but gifts are gifts, and I am not the best at a “romantic” cliché type of event. Needless to say my wife has always enjoyed whatever we have done together, and I am thankful for that. Any other guidance would be much appreciated, however.

More Golf, Less Weight

Another five pounds out the door. . . Heck, if only playing golf was this easy. I went out again and tried my hand at it. It was a stressful day trying to meet some deadlines with a few vector images that I had procrastinated on. I went out to play a round and scored 130. Much higher than my 112 last time. Maybe it was a second beginner’s luck, who knows. It was good to be out playing again, though. I went to Radiant this morning (partly why I was stressed to get the graphics done) and checked in. I can feel the program just beginning to come to a close, I think. I only have 30 pounds or so left to lose, and I have lost 54 so far. I should be around my target weight, which I changed to about 190, in about a month if I work hard. I’ve been going to the YMCA on a regular basis, too. It has been going very good so far. I feel like I am becoming a workout buff again, like I was in college while I still played football and ran around. It’s a great feeling. I am going to work out again on Friday, which is when I typically find the time to get in now. I will let ya’ll know how it goes.

229 and losing fast, folks.

Workout last Friday went pretty good, but I was really sore afterwards. I jogged for the first time on the track, but only made it ½ mile. Maybe I am more out of shape than I thought. . . Still, I would have never of done it before I lost all this weight. I climbed back on the scales today, and between the two pounds I lost before my last blog post, and the 5 pounds I have lost this week, I have shed 49 pounds. My current weight is 229, and I am expecting to keep up my current rate for another few weeks, if possible. So far I am almost halfway to my goal weight; I just have to stick with it for a few more days to see that mark.

My anniversary is in about a month (September 13, to be exact), so I want to be around 190. My wife has been very happy with the results of the diet, too. I look better and feel better, and I want to go out more and do stuff rather than sit in front of a computer for hours on end after I come home from doing it all day in the first place. If I could weigh 190 pounds, I think I would be tempted to wrap myself up in a bow as one of her gifts! We’ll see how that goes. ; )

Golf Scores and Radiant Visit. . .

My round of golf went very well! I got 112 after not playing for over 5 years. Darn good if you ask me! I decided to play 18 after I got to the course because I figured I have come this far and it should be a “Go big or go home” type of thing. I went to Radiant this afternoon after I played my morning round of golf (have to love a computer engineer’s schedule) and had to add with pride that I went golfing for the first time in almost 6 years. I am pretty close to what is normal for losing weight during an HCG diet, so I am happy about that, too. I will admit that I did take out a couple chopped up apples to snack on while I was playing golf. With how much I walked, I am not too worried about it, though. I was pretty hungry while playing today, and I still have to work out again this week, so it’s going to be one of those hard weeks where I want to snack on stuff after workouts. My plan is to wait to eat until after I am done with my workouts so that I don’t get too hungry and blow my diet. That way I can feel better after a workout and resist the snacking after a workout.

Going Golfing!

I think I am over this little hump that they say you can get stuck on during an HCG diet. It has been 5 days since my last post, but I lost 3 pounds. Overall, I think I am losing a little bit slower, but that’s okay with me as long as I keep losing the weight. So far I am down to 236 pounds, or about 42 pounds gone. I joined a golfing club this last Friday, too. They were offering a good rate for a year’s membership and you get a discount for golfing there. I haven’t golfed in 6 years—it’s going to feel so good to be back! I am heading out tomorrow to do 9 holes. I will need to dig out my clubs from seasons and seasons ago and clean them up. If I keep losing weight and get back into golf, I might treat myself to a new set of clubs. Not bad, eh?

Speaking of working out, I went to the Y again today. I’m doing okay with the weights, actually. I spent 30 minutes in the weight worm today, and 30 minutes on the track. I heard that overdoing it can cause your body to enter a starvation like state, but so far I haven’t experienced that with Radiant MedSpa’s diet. Quite the contrary, to be sure. But anyway, I will let you folks know how that round of golf is. Wish me luck and more weight gone!
