Strides

Today! Yes I am almost there! 231.5! That is such a good feeling, I cant even tell you. That is 8.5lb down!

I didn't do the P90X yesterday, I played in my outdoor soccer league, and it kicked my ass.... and it clearly paid off. I was even able to go out last night with my friends and have a single beer with some mahi fish tacos, which were delicious.

Honestly I was starting to get a little down, not sure why tho. My weight lose has not really stalled. I think now that I have switched from the Atkins to the Weight Watchers, the progress has slowed a little....but I am still losing weight, and that is the main goal here.

So I found some of my old journals at my parents house... and I discovered that when I had lost this weight before I was down at 187lb's. From everything I can tell that was the lowest I had been in a long time. I think when I was in high school I might have been less, sense I was playing soccer everyday, but when I got mono and could not exercise, I know I gained a lot of weight.

So this will be my goal again... to be at 190lb. If when I obtain that goal, which I will, I am unhappy, then I will keep striving to lose weight.

Today I am feeling good. My stomach hurts from yesterdays game, the throw-ins really get in there and hurt my abs... but thats okay. I love playing soccer. Sadly, I think my Thursday night team is going to fold, 2 of our players just bailed on us, and the new season starts in two weeks, but fees are due next week. We only have 3 players.... No bueno.... but I am starting a co-ed Tuesday night team, which is a lot of fun, and a lot of running.

Anyways, I am overall having a pretty good start to my day. It looks like it will be a pretty relaxed day. Laundry and P90X at some point. Hopefully before my roommate gets home... I don't like people watching me when I am exercising, especially when I am just learning the steps.
