Down another pound! I think that's cool- and when I say cool, I mean superlative!. It's progress; moving ever-closer to goal. That's what my renaissance is all about.
My means to my ends haven't varied much. I continue to exercise routinely and eat healthy foods in healthy quantities. I am a little astonished by how much easier it's getting to make proper choices when it comes to foods, especially in social situations and other times of snackin' opportunity.
Take yesterday for example. Family was in from out of town and with that usually comes many opportunities for gastrointestinal engorgement. There is always food about and social gatherings are usually centered around a huge meal. This was just like every other occasion- lots and lots of food. Was avoiding temptation a challenge?
No. Not really. I chose to become more healthy.
It has been a lot easier to just not eat things that will impede my progress. The pleasure of the weight coming off far outweighs the momentary taste of cakes and potatoes and other stuff. I mean really, it's all about making a choice- a choice to lose weight and making that same choice time after time. In my case it's a choice of keep on keeping on.
That's my choice and I'm sticking to it.

Congrats on your great progress. I've been away from the online scene for the past week or two, so I missed your official 2 week weigh in. You did good, Steve. This post was especially good. You are right - it IS a choice. They say that obesity is an epidemic.. talk about it like a disease that we catch. It's not. It's a choice to eat excessively, and it's a choice to remain sedentary.
And it is people like you who choose otherwise that are truly inspiration. Keep up the great work.
