250

Today is a big day. I am crossing over the half way point between 300 and 200. I can now feel like I weigh closer to 200 than 300. 250 is also my second to last original goal. So WOOOO HOOOO 250.

It has been 9 weeks since I crossed over my last goal. So it has been a while since I felt like I have accomplished something. My original goal was to be 250 my March 30. So in some ways I am late, 17 days late. In other ways I am very happy with myself cause I have a hard time sticking to diets when I have missed my goal. My next and my final original goal is 225. I really don't want to put a time limit on it cause my weekly pound loss has slowed down.

Today also marks the beginning of my 5th week of running. It is hard to believe I started walk/jogging just a few weeks ago and the last time I ran a pace of less than 12 minutes a mile. I know in the running world this is not stellar but for a big old 250+lb. boy who never could run one mile, 3.6 miles seems good.

I am wondering if I should be happy or sad about pausing my Atkins diet for two days a few weeks ago. Did it mess with my metabolism and help my Atkins diet kick in my recent weight loss or would I be further ahead had I not took a break? I will never know. I am just happy to have crossed another mile marker on the highway to health.

Good job on the weight loss. I am hoping to have some of the same success with my Atkins trip to losing weight. (I started with much more to go though.) Again congratulations...
