Reassurance
I got kind of a late start today after last night's excitement. I found myself rushing a little during my workout in order to meet my nutritionist for a follow-up (and probably final) appointment. I had debating skipping the meeting since I'm doing so well and, more importantly, I'm practically broke. However, I kind of missed her cut-off for canceling so I figured it couldn't hurt to thank her in person for her help.
I showed up and talked to her about my progress. She was very impressed with my diligence and creativity. I thought she'd get on me for the occasional "cheating" and my tendency to only eat two meals a day (she had been adamant about eating three). However, she couldn't get over how well I was doing. At my suggestion, she weighed me. I've lost seventeen pounds since my first appointment four weeks ago and only two weeks of that featured regular exercise. She didn't really give me any new ideas or advice so the visit was kind of a rip-off. Whatever, I never need to go back now that I now how to take care of myself.
I've got about four weeks to go before I leave so my goal (and I may regret this) is to lose twenty more pounds during that time. That would put me at the same weight I was in high school. Unfortunately, I was overweight then too, but at this point all I can do is dream of being less so. But who knows? Maybe a little work during my trip to Japan, I might actually resemble a normal human being when I come back.

Yikes...I'm writing comments from work. Don't tell my boss. Congrats on all the progress you have been making. Doesn't it feel awesome to have made changes and seen real results? But don't rush things too much. 20 lbs in a month seems like an awful lot to me...shouldn't you be shooting for about 1 lb a week? You have the rest of your life to eat healthy and exercise. Have fun at the game tonight...although I've been in air conditioning all day I hear it's a scorcher out there. Bring plenty o' water.
I don't think twenty pounds in thirty (give or take) days is that far fetched when you look back at what I've already accomplished. The nutritionist thought ten or fifteen pounds was plausible and she didn't realize that I've only been exercising for about two weeks.
Whatever, I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing. The results will be whatever they will be.
