Father's Day Initiative...T-11 Weeks


2 &1/2 months to go!

What's the progress?

For me, I ended the month of March on a pretty good note.  I didn't reach my stretch goal for the month, but got  1lb away from it.  Yesterday morning after I finished my aquatics regiment, the scale showed that I am now down 9lbs.  My stretch goal for the month was to be at the 10lbs mark. 

With over 2 months left in the initiative, I am going to target burning 3lbs off per month.  If done, I will be at my lower limit goal of 15lbs well before Father's Day.

I'm continuing to switch up my workout routines to challenge my body and work different muscles to ensure I can continually burn those unwanted calories that hang out in the wrong places. 

Once Easter hits, I can go back to eating chocolate.  I have been great thus far, and really haven't been tempted much...other than the three (yes 3) times my wife made homemade brownies in the house.  I didn't eat any.  I do plan to eat less chocolate than I did before Lent...less Cookies & Cream ice cream...try to stay away from that Subway chocolate chip cookie when I get the Daily Value Meal ($3.99).  We'll see how it goes.

I want to thank one of my cousins that has been pushing through this also and has already reached his overall target goal...great feedback to keep me motivated to reach my goal.

What's your progress?
