Well, I've decided to finish off the food/exercise blogging for now. I hit my first goal weight of 175 lbs, down from 193 at the end of June, and from 210 back in April. 35 pounds gone in 6 months is pretty sweet. And I'm much more active now.
The whole point of me starting this blog was to chart my food and exercise as a way for me to be accountable to something. And I feel like I've done that religiously and am more than capable of eating cleanly and often enough and to exercise without excuses. To be honest this thing has become a bit of a chore in the midst of a much more active life.
So I may be back at some point. But not for now.
