40 Pounds Lost, 60 To Go

Man the weight is just falling off of me, LOL. Yesterday I rode my bike 2 miles in the morning and 2 miles after dinner. I did my usual 200 crunches in the morning and that was all as far as exercise for the day. Evidently it was enough.

Today's weigh in: 309.6 lbs. That's 9.4 lbs for the month and 40.4 for the year.

I am less than 11 pounds away from my mid year weight loss target with 32 days to go.

Yesterday I had cereal for breakfast, an apple for mid morning and mid afternoon snack, I had a salad with raspberry walnut vinaigrette for lunch, and I had a bratwurst and baked potato for dinner. Notice that dinner was about as fattening as you can get. I even had butter on my baked potato. The lesson here is:

You can eat the things you like if you implement portion control and are willing to do 30 minutes worth of exercise everyday. It's simple common sense with a little self discipline.

I am still trying to wean myself off of the Hoodia Gordonii. I only take it once in the morning and so far I haven't had really bad hunger pangs in the evening. That has always been my biggest problem. Once I gave in to hunger, which would usually occur in the evening when I was watching TV, I would stuff my face right before I went to bed. Big No No!

I think that my body has grown accustomed to the small portions and I am going to go cold turkey beginning in June. I would prefer not to take any supplements, aside from vitamins, if I don't have to. The Hoodia Gordonii really helped me out when I began this program. I was used to eating really big meals a couple times a day instead of 5 or 6 small snacks. The Hoodia kept me from feeling ravenous.
