Default 357 days

I began lowcarbing, 357 days ago. 1 week till my 1 year anniversary. I think my wife is planning some little suprise she won't tell me about. Women! :-)

At any rate, over the past 357 days, I am happy to report that I have reached my goal, I have not cheated one time (Not for Thanksgiving, Birthday, Christmas, etc), and I am embarking on a stringent workout routine to complete my transformation, and tighten up that loose skin. When I began this journey, I kept telling myself "This time it's personal" I was sick or the way I looked, felt, and lived my life. I have not posted a bunch on the forum, but believe me when I say I have used it often for information and inspiration. This summer I look forward to going to the beach and actually taking my shirt off, and not being embarrased. I look forward to doing a lot of things, that have previously been difficult for me to perform. Most importantly I look forward to being a good example for my kids, as someone they can be proud of, and not embarrased to introduce to their friends as they get older.

My hope in writing this, is that my testimony in this WOL will provide even a small inspiration to others who are dragging threw a stall, depressing day, or other tempting period. Believe me, it will pass, it will pass, it will pass. Make it personal, hold true to yourself, and do it for you. I know it's possible.

With much gratitude,

Chris

Cool

Wow Chris, very similar situation/goals. What a great inspiration to me, since you have done exactly what I want to do, right down to not being a good image/father to my kids.

Way to go!!!!
