One Year Stats

It's hard to believe, but I have been exercising regularly for a year now!

It has taken me a year to lose 49 pounds BUT I have lost 11 pounds in the last three weeks. The contest at the gym is a great motivator. But what is really making the difference is the low-carb eating. I have, I believe, found what is going to work for me as a lifestyle, not just a diet.

I have to give a lot of credit to my trainer. Since the beginning he has known when to push me harder and when to back off. He doesn't do much backing off these days, and he even gets mean once in a while. Well, not really "mean" in the drill-sergeant way...but more in the "tough but beloved football coach" sense. He knows I can do more and brings it out of me. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! And Happy Anniversary!

Here are the stats:


My clothing sizes may be smaller by now, but I haven't bought anything in a while. Except a belt so my jeans will last a few more weeks!
