Back to working out today. Since I lifted weights last night, I didn't do my routine this morning, but I got in a full hour of the "high intensity" exercise, 30 minutes each on the treadmill and recumbent bike.
Reflecting back over the last two months, this has really been a positive experience. If you've been watching, you can see that I eat a lot, which was one of my biggest fears when I started. I was really worried that I'd be hungry all the time. But, fortunately, it seems like I'm almost never hungry, and I'm losing weight pretty quickly. My immediate plan is to be at 200 or below by Christmas, and it's honestly looking like I might actually make that goal. True, I have Thanksgiving between now and then, and Christmas and New Years are two traditional pig-out fests. But, I really believe that, for the first time, I know how to enjoy myself with respect to food without doing horrible things to my system. And that's a good thing.
