Almost five and a half months after I started, I am at my goal of losing 23 pounds.  The only difference is that it didn’t take 13 months like I originally planned for.

I really had no idea how I was going to lose weight, I just knew that I had to lose weight.  And since I wasn’t sure about what to do, I started with “baby steps” - thirty day goals that I could actually stick to and complete.  And I know from previous life experiences that I need to set another goal, something that truly stretches my commitment.

And I don’t know where they went. Can you find them?

Just kidding. Today was the first day I weighed less than 170 lbs since I started on this journey about 21 weeks ago. Back then, I weighed 190 pounds, today I weigh 169.8 lbs.

To be honest, I am a little skeptical with those results because yesterday I weighed 172.8 lbs. Yesterday I went for my second mountain bike ride for the year, a two and a half hour ride through the foothills of Boise - maybe that’s why I weigh 3 less pounds today then I did yesterday.

I guess I should also mention what this month’s 30 day goal is. No desserts for the month. Last month I did 50 push ups every day with the exception of the very last day of the month. I also continued my 100 sit ups every day. But guess what, I haven’t continued. I’m a little burned out. It’s time to experiment and am looking at using this Tim Ferriss’ idea for strength training.

I did one set of 10 push ups as slow and smooth as I possibly could. While I didn’t crumble at the end, I could feel my muscles working hard.
