It is amazing how ones perception of how they look, and present to the public, may differ from reality. Looking at the photos showing my progress in weight loss and fitness has made this very clear. I always felt I looked good - and was in decent shape (For a 50+ year old man).
This week has been tough in trying to stay on course. I spent the better part of the week in Fenwick Island, Delaware with my wife and kids on vacation. Not having a cocktail was going to be next to impossible. Especially with my friends and family.
I decided to TRY and be smart. When I did drink - it was vodka and soda with a splash or orange or grapefruit. I limited myself to 2-3 drinks per day, and was sure to get my walking in when I could. Rather than gain weight - which I expected - I actually lost a few pounds. Although I would have liked to see more progress, it is progress none the less.
I did not get to the gym - except for Tuesday of this week. I felt a little guilty for not getting some physical work in -even if it was core work with push ups and sit ups. I promise myself I will get to the gym when I get back to town tomorrow - but I have to see how things go with clients. I have to do my best to get the workout in.
Pictures are looking better. I still have a long way to go - and I think that the next 10 pounds of loss will help me to outline some definition in my frame. Walking has become a no brainer. That gives me hope that the regular gym work will eventually show results.
