SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES

Day 13: mindful eating, calorie count 850
First time since February, I walked 10 miles.
First time since February, I logged 25000 steps.
First time since I can't remember when...
...when I had the nerve to post a selfie
Things are happening....
...Right now... 
SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES

It's been quite a while since I had the guts to take a selfie... this is what a nearly 61 year old man at 271lbs looks like after walking 10 miles on a hot summer day in August after a six month hiatus. The ten mile urban hike was no small achievement. Two weeks ago, right about when I was finally freaking out my ballooning weight, I found it painful to walk half a block. I was seriously nervous that maybe that my urban hiking days were in my rear-view mirror. All it took was losing about ten pounds to regain the confidence to walk again. It probably didn't help that two weeks ago I did not own anything comfortable enough to get out and walk. Things are happening.  Seems like old times.

I didn't break any speed records on this ten mile hike... It took nearly 3 hours

I WEIGHED MYSELF SUNDAY MORNING.   271.0 LBS
DOWN NEARLY 13 LBS IN 13 DAYS.
I do know one thing, how to kick-start a weight loss regiment into high gear once I decide to begin.

SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES

It's been awhile... yesterday seemed like old times. My caloric intake was under 1000 calories. This is absolutely not my daily goal, but I did think that it might be a good idea make a drastic change to my recent behaviour to convince myself that I was serious.  My steps count on my fitbit was not too impressive - but this is what it looks like when someone has gone so far backwards that they have to claw their way back. I am in clawing mode.
