Quick Update

I just wanted to let people know I haven't forgotten about this. I've just been so busy of late that I keep forgetting to take time to update it. This past week, I was in New Orleans, which of course meant that good eating habits went out the window and I picked up a little weight. I knew this was going to happen, though, so it wasn't any sort of shock. As of yesterday morning, I was at 315.4.

One thing I do want to note, however, is that before New Orleans I'd been in the doldrums about everything related to weight loss. After over a year on this journey, it had started to drag and feel like a diet finally, which is part of what sapped my motivation. However, I saw a number of friends in NOLA that I'd not seen in a long while, and their commentary about my weight loss really helped. There were a number of double-takes as well as a couple of outright 'I didn't recognize you' moments. It really helps to have that reinforcement (not to belittle the positive reinforcement from my wife at all) to remind me that it is worth it and it is working.

So to everyone in New Orleans who said something, thank you. It was very appreciated and definitely helped remind me that I should stay on this road.
