Week one of phase 2 of my diet is in the books, 4700 calories under budget, and 3lbs lost (plan is 2). 25 lbs total so far from my peak. I'm getting exercise nearly every day but not as much as I would like. On Saturday I walked 3 miles before breakfast. With my mobility challenges that's a bigger accomplishment than it probably sounds like. I'm taking the stairs instead of the elevation. I've all but eliminated alcohol. Tracking steps, everything I eat, all of my exercise. I'm learning how to cook amazing food.
I feel like I can really make this lifestyle change.
That's great, brotha. Confidence is the requisite outlook for any big changes, and victories like this are confidence-builders. Keep on keepin' on, we're rootin' for you.
