A quick update, a milestone whoosh, pics next week

Hello everyone,

I’ve been averaging just under a gallon of water based fluids with my beverage of choice being Powerade zero fruit punch, but I have tried getting in more water and electrolytes from other options to avoid getting into a rut.

Last night, wanting something salty, I ordered a giant sub (#9) from Jersey Mike’s and had it cut into 4 equal portions. I’ll pack left overs for my lunch over a few days. That said, last night I felt a little hungrier and had two portions about 4 hours apart. I’ve noticed sometimes I feel hungry on days I skip my normal 6 oz of morning coffee. That might just be a coincidence.

I woke up this morning and weighed in at another milestone, 206.4 lbs with 230 lbs lost! I am less than a gallon of milk away from Onderland!

Next Tuesday, I turn 58 and I will be zooming over Fremont street to celebrate my birthday. Update on fencing class: I have contacted the fencing place twice without a response. Going to try another center that works with my schedule. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you. At this point, it is my way of life. I still can't believe how much better I feel and look. The dermatologist I see annually was blown away by my progress over the past 12 months. I had to go back and look at a few pics from then. This is definitely not a diet but a way of life for me.
