Wow, I dodged the Easter Bunny backslide! I will take that half pound loss and run, well maybe jog... OK! OK! Walk briskly with it.

On Tuesday I was up TEN pounds from letting my hare, I mean hair down, or more realistically my guard. I got WAY too loosey goosey though I did say I was going to. I was feeling like real crap on Monday and was up seven pounds. I was feeling way better Tuesday, but tacked on 3 more pounds as all the residual calories were still dispatching to familiar lands of fat farms (little silos all over my body, but primarily in the fertile equator area known as the belt line.)
How I lost it and then an extra half pound is border line awesome, as I really did not change my pattern at all. I just returned to my normal eating habits I have developed and continued my exercise which really is basically walking, some minor weights, a day of yoga, and then I mix in a stretching routine and an occasional aerobic activity like a stationary bike ride or lame step work out, I really do stink at stepping hehe.
Now all that being said, I really want to make a strong push to 200 over the spring and summer months and a great start this week would be huge in boosting my momentum. So my aim is 239.9 to break into the 230's for possibly the first time since my early 30's if not 30! I know I have a LONG ways to go yet, but keeping the chin up and OH MY GOD I NEARLY FORGOT!!! I bought and fit into 40' waist slacks! I told the clerk I was hoping to fit into them in a week or two and got home and they FIT! Tight? Well sure as heck! But we are talking closing in on a sub-40 inch waist and for me this is well over a decade. I am going to have to bust out some old clothes I know I have saved. Maybe take some pics to record the event. If the styles are not too "BLAH male" I may reveal an era known as pre-millenium!

360+ at my highest weight when I found out I was type II. Went to 340 from ketosis, then with off and on half-hearted efforts over ~6 years to get to 305 on 1/21/2014. That is when I came out to myself and started to care about living again and things became absurdly easier. My daughter attributes it to living honestly, which makes life easier in the ways that matter most.
