Week 14: A Weight Loss Milestone

I've now passed the half-way mark on my weight loss goal. Yes, I've lost a total of 26.6 lbs and have another 23 lbs to go. YA BABY!

I am definitely getting the hang of this weight loss thing. I seem to be getting a feel for how much to eat each day and I continue to make good decisions about what I put into my body. I am focused on fueling my body for endurance and I try to make every eating and drinking decision with that in mind.

I am also become more comfortable with eating at restaurants. I've become better at estimating the points in certain foods and only eat the quantity that I should, instead of finishing the entire plate of food.

Where do we go from here? I will just keep doing what I am doing. I've been told that the lbs become harder to burn as you get closer to your ideal weight. I'm not worried about it though... I will just remain focused. The pounds will come off, slowly and surely.
