Another milestone reached...

Well folks, I have crossed a threshold, jumped a hurdle and pretty well done something I never really thought I would......I cracked the 300 lb barrier

What you are probably thinking is this “schnikes, Gord weighs 300 lbs!”

Well, when I started, I weighed 329.8 lbs, to be exact (measured on Ryan's electronic scale, always post workout).

This is a milestone because for the first time in eight years, I am now below the 300 lb mark. Eight years! There is a certain point where you begin to accept that your fate is to always be that big, to just maintain as healthy a lifestyle as you can while hovering around 330 lbs.

Let me tell you this: it ain't much of a lifestyle at 330 lbs, those of you who know first hand can attest to this.

I am inspired to do more, hard work has never felt so good. But, going back to my last post, had I not self-sabotaged by harmlessly “cheating” on my eating, how much more could I have lost. No sense trying to figure it out, because I will chalk that up to spilt milk and we all know there is no use in crying over it, or making myself crazy over it.

What I can do is use it as a wake up call, make it be the kick in the butt to make me think next time I'm reaching for a doughnut.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot; my weight at last unofficial weigh in was 299.6 lbs, that means I am down 30.2 lbs for those of you keeping score at home.

I was a little tardy with this post, it's been over a week of me basking in the glow. Tomorrow is the official weigh in and the tale of the tape. Ryan will be measuring me with the tape measure to see how many inches I have lost thus far.
