Official 20

Weight: 230 lbs

I have now officially lost a full 20 pounds! I have gone from my belt not being quite big enough to it being perhaps a little large. Even my favorite t-shirts no longer hug my belly!

Having a more active job, and walking 20-30 minutes to and from it every day is really making a big difference, as is just flat eating less. I think I actually have a smaller appetite. I am eating a healthier variety of foods, and take every chance to add veggies to a meal or snack.

One thing that's surprises me about the weight loss is that my caffeine intake, via soda, has actually gone up in the last couple of weeks. Now, I imagine that if I can get my sleeping pattern regulated, and cut back the soda long term, that my weight loss could kick into overdrive.

To celebrate my lower weight, I walked an extra 20 minutes on the way home from work. That's right, I used exercise as a reward rather than a punishment. I'll tell you what, that is a mind-blowing thing for me.
