201.6 lbs - No fasting BS

It's official. I've broken through the 203 barrier! =) I actually hit 201 over the weekend, but I generally don't count weekend figures because they never seem to stick. Also of note is my estimated body fat %. I saw it hit 26% for the first time. For a guy who started around 34%, I'd say this is great progress. I still have a ways to go, but this is encouraging.

I am now just 2.6 pounds from my first goal. With about 3.5 weeks to go, and losing just over 2 pounds a week, I should hit my goal sometime next week. This will be a great day for me. I cannot remember the last time I weighed so little. No doubt it was in high school.

I've decided that my ideal weight is around 170. This is after talking to people, checking out web sites, and all that. It seems about right. As such, I will hold of resistance training until I reach about 175-180. From then on out I will be posting body fat % information along with my weight.

I went back to DDR for a bit. I'm going to alternate between DDR and jogging for my aerobic workouts. As much as I hate running, it is extremely effective as a weight loss tool. I'll just grit my teeth and run once or twice a week for now.

One last thing. I had a peach for breakfast this morning. My BS never went above 125. This is great! It appears my insulin resistance really is declining.

Pictures are coming. I promise! I have to say one of the greatest things is knowing that I'm saving my life. I'm going to be able to be around for my son, and any future children. I hope that any of you that might be in a similar situation will take what I'm saying to heart, and make the changes you need to make to live and to be there for your families. Take care!
