Continuing to Lose and Now to Get into Better Shape!

Hi all. It's been a while since I've posted and I've been quite busy (you can check out my other blogs as well), so I'll try and update you now. Since January, I'm down about 30 pounds. How did I do it? mostly through both increased activity and being a bit more careful with what I eat. In the winter and early spring, I was working out at a gym, doing a lot of cardio and some strength training. Now, throughout the late spring and summer, there is so much to do outside that I have spent most of my time on yard and garden work. That can be strenuous activity and pretty much replaced the gym. As Gardening season winds down, back to the gym I'll go. The biggest thing though, I think has been changing my eating habits. At most meals, I will fill my plate with as much as I plan to eat, clean my plate and then resist the temptation to go for seconds. I haven't deprived myself of anything, I just have reduced what I eat to reasonable levels. My goal going forward is to lose another 20 pounds before Thanksgiving. My other goal is to keep my blogs updated more often. I hope that I can also get back into bike riding before the weather gets too cold. I'll be back here soon.
