The End

Well my time in Labrador has now come to an end. I got here on the 31st of April and I am leaving today August 22nd. This is my first post in a couple weeks and I must say the past 2 weeks have been very successful in terms of weight loss. 2 weeks ago I lost 2 pounds and this past week I lost 1.5 pounds. Since getting here about 4 months ago I have lost a grand total of 26 pounds and now weigh in at 215.5. I did miss out on my overall goal by o.5 of a pound but I am very happy with the progress I have made. Now I just have to focus on maintaining this weight over my vacation and when I get back to St. John's. I have work so hard to get to this point over this summer and I am going to do everything I can to not gain any of this back. I am not done with my weight loss yet though. I want to lose about 10 - 15 more pounds by Christmas. I don't expect this last few pounds to go without a fight especially since I am going to be back in St. John's but my school schedule should give me more then ample time to get in a workout every day. Maintaining my diet will be the hardest part of being in St. John's but like I said I do not want to go back to where I was before. Anyways that is all for me. Thank you for reading over the past 16 weeks and I will see most of you soon.

And for one last time

Weeks Fifteen & Sixteen: July 26 - August 8

So the past 2 weeks have been very busy and a little stressful. I just completed my last work term report of my B Comm degree and I am planning on getting back on track for the next two week to make the final push towards my goal. Over the past 2 weeks I have only lost 1 pound and I now weigh 219. With the stress of the work term report and because I was working on it pretty much every night after work I didn't get to do as much physical activity as I usually do. So I am accounting the lower than normal results on this fact. Also being home every night made me fall back into some old snacking habits. Being either bored or working most of the time I snacked because it is what I use to do before. I guess some of those old bad habits are still around for now but considering all of the ones I broke I am still doing ok. This is still a work in progress so everything is not going to stop all at one time. Anyways that is all for this week. Short and Sweet.

With will power, dedication and hard work, no goal is unattainable.
