Did ya miss me?

Aloha, after nearly a year.

It's been a long year, a productive year, a year of wins and losses, changed thinking, and changed jobs.

Let's see if I can figure this out... And, yes, I'm going to be a bit more transparent this time around.

The last time we talked was August 2018. I was a solid 180 lbs then, and I'm a solid 180 lbs now. I had a bit of a flub September to December and ended up back around 190/195, but regained the progress when I started a very physical job (one that I have, since, decided was not ideal for my mental or physical health, for many reasons).

However, the lowest weight I hit, even with all that activity, was 175, back at the beginning of April.

Let's keep in mind, though, that I am still down 55 lbs from my peak weight of 235!

My records show that I weighed in at 235, May 30th, 2016, and have been progressing in my journey ever since. Yes, I had some setbacks last year... But you know what? At the beginning of this month, I finished the 3rd year of my journey, and yes, my weight has fluctuated this year... But, hell, I'm not 235 anymore. And I'm STILL down from my weight this time last year. The total for the year may only be 10ish, but hey, that's maintenance there.

To top it off? I tried on a bunch of clothing tonight that I thought I would never fit into again. And you know what?

It fucking fits.
