Broke the 170 Pound Barrier!

5 pounds from Goal Weight

It has been over 20 years since I last weighed below 170 pounds.  When I started this quest at almost 189 pounds - being less than 170 seemed out of reach.  I was stuck at 173 for almost 3 weeks and I was getting a bit discouraged.  This morning I was elated.

I LOVE being 20 pounds lighter.  I can really feel a difference in how i feel.  My body is now over 10% lighter and a lot stronger than it was when I started this quest.  I have more energy - I sleep better and overall I feel much better than I have in a very long time.

My goal weight is 165 pounds.  At this weight I should be able to manipulate my body into a "Pike" position.  This will facilitate me spinning during somersaults.  My beer belly prevented any attempt at this position a few months ago.  The beer belly is a thing of the past.  I am finally getting flexible enough to fold myself in half.

So - what I am most looking forward to when I hit my goal weight?   An ice cold Bell's Two Hearted Ale.  165 cannot come soon enough!
