Day 17 - What a ride!

Nov 19, 2010

Woke up this morning, and the scale said I've dropped another 3 lbs.  That's a total of 56 lbs thus far.  That's like putting down two 25-lb bags of dog food!  I don't really think I look much different, but I sure feel different!  Walking is a lot easier now that I'm no longer hauling all that baggage...  And to think I've still got almost 3 times that much to go! 

I can go up a flight of stairs without having to stop and catch my breath when I get there.  I'm having to wear suspenders to keep my sweat pants up.  My wife says it's a "quite unusual" look.  LOL - she's right - I look pretty silly, but I don't care, because I'm doing stuff again, and feeling good about it.

Tomorrow, we're taking the dogs to a park that has a walking/jogging trail around a lake.  Last time we went, I had to stop and rest several times, and my back, feet, and knees were killing me by the time we finished a single lap.  I don't have any particular "goal" in mind for tomorrow, but it will be interesting to see (and feel) the difference the weight loss makes.  The other big difference?  Last time we went, I dreaded it, but did it because my wife really wanted to.  This time, it was my idea (shocked the heck out of her!) and I'm really looking forward to it.  Hopefully, I'll blog again tomorrow to say how it went.
