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.

Father's Day Initiative...T - 20 Weeks

What's the status?

I had a better week from the previous one. I was able to knock off 2 pounds this past week. I couldn't depend on my workout routine much because of a cold virus that decided to hit me early in the week.

I did cut down on my bread intake some by staying away from the breakfast buscuits and I plan to continue this week with the same strategy. I hope to pick my workout routine back up. I will try to extend my swimming routine by at least 10 minutes this week. For those that swim, you know that 10 minutes of extra swimming is a long time. We'll see how it goes.

What's my target for this week?...another 2 pounds. If I can do that, I will be 1/4 (25%) towards my overall goal.

Let's see if this initiative can keep going in the right direction.
