Tomorrow marks 12 weeks since I joined several of my colleagues in a weight loss challenge. This morning after soccer practice I checked my weight and have lost 30 pounds. I have not been in the 150’s for more than a decade and feel very good about my progress. My love handles are all but gone and I think this is a good place to stabilize. My approach was to reduce calories in and increase calories burned. Naturally, I celebrated with ice cream. I spent several hours working on the kayak which is approaching completion and watched the US vs Brazil World Cup soccer match with the boys; one of the most exciting games I have ever witnessed. Go USA!
