I was cleaning out my desk today and I found a bottle of Tums, and I started to realize that I haven't had to chew a Tums since I started in this program. I have not had heart burn for 4 weeks. I used to never go more then a day without having to chew a few Tums. That means that I have improved my diet to the point where my digestive tract doesn't hate me.
I have to go and buy a new belt. I have reached the last notch on my current one, and for the first time that I can remember I have to buy a belt because it is too big.
I have way more energy. In the afternoons at work I used to just drag, eating candy and drinking Mountain Dew to get me through the afternoon. Now I still have a spring in my step when 4:30 comes around. I really felt it yesterday after spending 20 minutes on the treadmill during lunch.
I am sleeping better, and I feel more refreshed when I get up in the morning. I don't know if it is the exercise or the fact that I don't drink pop any more but I fall asleep faster at night and I sleep better, also my wife has told me I hardly snore any more (I wouldn't know because I am asleep).
I am happier. For the past several years I have battled with Depression for various reasons one of which is my weight. And being an emotional eater I would eat to make myself feel better which would cause me to gain weight and become more depressed, kind of a viscious cycle. But having lost 21.4 pounds I am feeling very good about myself. In my past weight loss efforts I have been able to lose 15-20 pounds and no more. So breaking that 20 pound barrier is big for me, I know that I can keep going from here.
I am learning to push myself. I have always been kind of a slacker. I have never really ever pushed myself to my fullest potential. I have always done just enough to get by. But now I am pushing myself to do more then what it takes to get by. Before when I would start to get tired on the bike I would quit. Now when I am on the treadmill and I start to get tired I turn the speed up or increase the incline. Matt told me to push myself to see just how tired I could make myself. Push for another 5 minutes or another few steps in resistence.
I am going to make it this time. I have learned a lot in this program and from the people around me and I have the tools to succeed. I will lose the weight and I will keep it off.
My goal for the rest of this program. When I step on that scale for the final weigh in I want the first number to be a 2 and not a 3, it has been well over 10 years since I weighed under 300 pounds and that is far too long. That means I have at least 30.3 pounds to go. I want to continue to improve my cardio workout to the point where I can start running. It has been far too long since I could run more then a few yards. And I want to continue to lift weights to tone and tighten up all this jiggly stuff I have on my body.
Well that is enough from me for now. I suppose I should get back to work.
One last thing, Team Bill closed the gap by over 13 pounds this week. We are only about 24 pounds behind now. There's no stopping us now.

You are doing awesome!! I am starting to notice my clothes fitting baggy- Most of my shirts are too big. I bought jeans that I thought would be tight and they are too loose! Your team is catching us! I better get my butt to the gym soon! Keep up the good work!
I hope both teams win. It is so hard to say that I want Jason's team to win because I am on it, Because we all deserve to win(oh no I am sounding like one of those liberals). Keep up the good work and I hope to see you at the gym to push me too.
