Proud

First, I would like to say that JR got on the scale yesterday and weighed in at 325...this means he has lost 50 pounds since Valentine's Day....and if you remember he was finally on the scale on March 13, and therefore has lost 15 pounds since then....which is basically a pound a day. He said he wanted to be 290 by his birthday (May 13) but now he has changed it to 275. I tell him he needs to make a goal and stick with it...not change it accordingly. His original goal is 290, so that is what he should strive for, and if he gets down belown that then awesome...I just dont want the weight loss to slow down and then him get discouraged when he doesn't hit a goal. There are 6 weeks until his birthday so if he continues to lose a pound a day, he should easily make 290 in fact he should be about 280...
His total goal weight is to get down to 250...I honestly cant imagine him at 250...of course I couldn't really imagine him at 325, and here he is. Can you believe that if he gets to his goal weight, he would have lost 125 pounds??? That is seriously NUTS.
His back seems to be improving, and I am hoping that it heals properly and that maybe I can get him out walking or jogging with me, or even on his own...I just think that if he can drop a pound a day after 6 weeks of healthy food choices...he could probably amp that up to 2-3 pounds a day by adding some exercise. Anyway...my point is, I am so PROUD of my husband. He has such determination...he never cheats on his diet...even this weekend he didn't have any pizza at the pizza party...just salad...then he had turkey and sausage at the BBQ place...so technically I guess he cheated a little...he ate two pieces of his sausage and gave the rest to the kids...but he stayed with it by eating the turkey - and by not over-eating. I tried not to cheat...but it lasted all of 5 minutes before I had pizza on a plate and I was stuffing myself at Railroad BBQ! LOL
I always convince myself that it will be okay because I can just run off the calories that I eat when I cheat...but then after I have eaten I realize that the YES, I can work off the calories...but I can't clean out the gunk that I just put in my arteries, or the crap that is helping my fat cells expand! LOL So while Jr is still losing a pound a day...I put on a 1.5 pounds this weekend! Hahaha....It looks like this keeps happening...I get to 132, then gain a pound or two, get back to 132, then gain...Oh well - maybe I can talk JR into letting me get that surgery for Christmas!!! It will only be a few months early!!
