You were right, i believe i have bested my first truly challenging plateau, im glad i read these forums and didnt be a baby and give up, i just pushed thru it like you all said and now im on the right track again. Other news, my running is going great, shin splints are a distant memory (which is hard to believe because when i first started they were BAD) and my appetite is steady. My days of voracious cravings are less and less, and when they do happen i just drink water and eat whatever i am having slowly. Im not into calorie counting like some people here, but i am very into portion control, it makes such a difference throughout the weeks and months, example, yesterday in a meeting at work we had donuts, they looked good so i ate a half a donut, it was great cause i didnt bust my diet, and i still got to enjoy the food lol. When i think about how all these little decisions begin to add up it really motivates me and makes it much much easier.
Sorry for the wall o text lol, I am starting to really see the change in my body (as if you could miss it) I have already all but met my original goal of 185, as for my next goal im not sure, i know i still have fat to lose so im gonna keep going im really excited to see how far i can go (and still be healthy of course)
I know ive been really crappy about putting up pictures, and the pics are one of the main sources of motivation for everyone on here, so im sorry for not doing my part, but the good news is i think that i have my body to a point where i can actually be proud of it instead of ashamed, like MY pics actually might make a difference for somebody, its an amazing feeling, my GF says i have melted away before her very eyes. I plan on looking soon thru my old pics to find a good fat picture ( i was rarely photographed during this period for obvious reasons) and then taking a after pic. I may wait another few weeks for the after pic since im going so strong and i most certainly will lose more weight.
Anyways thanks for reading my book, i have a great respect for all of you who have made the decision to be healthy, this shit aint easy, but things that are worth it (and this def is) rarely are.
Till next time
