I saw that Scott had to weigh in early and he blogged about it this morning. Congrats to Scott on losing weight through this journey, improved healthy living and congrats on his recent marriage. He says he will start a new round of P90X on Monday. Keep pressing play Scott!

So, my weigh in happens in a couple hours. I am a little disappointed in myself because I felt as if I had too many excuses/slip-ups/temptations, etc this past month. So I decided to punish myself by running the hill we used to run as CYO football players in Wickliffe. I just got done sweating out all those Corona Lights I indulged in this week/month.

Six months ago, I could not walk upstairs from my basement without sucking a little wind. Now, there are certain days when I do multiple workouts and/or cardio events.

In the past, when trying to lose weight, I would see it as a sprint and try to lose it very fast. I have learned through this journey that slow and steady is the way to go if I want to continue this for my lifetime.

I know I have reached one of my goals which was to show a loss each monthly weigh in. Will I reach my goal of 60 pounds lost? I will probably come up short unless I chop off a couple of fingers.

I will not have Laura or these blogs to hold me accountable moving forward, so I will have to find the inspiration and will power from within. Do I have what it takes? I think I finally do!

Thanks again Laura for selecting me as a contestant and giving me some extra motivation to get back to a healthier lifestyle. Good luck to everyone on weigh in day!
