OK, so today I decided to weigh myself before SPIN class.  This is not an official weigh in but hey, scales are scales!  My starting weight just over 10 weeks ago was 265 pounds – 120 kgs.   Because I had held of weighing myself for a couple of weeks, I was a little nervous.  What if I had put on weight?  What if I had hit a plateau?  It is a strange thing, even now that I can fit clothes I have not worn for years, I STILL FEEL FAT!  This is a mind set I must address, or it will eventually lead me back to that reality.  I wonder how many other people who lose a lot of weight still have the mental baggage and still feel fat?  I will do some reading on this subject over the next while and see what I can find.

Gotta change the mindset

Back to my weigh in… today I was 236 pounds or 107 kgs.   Not bad, that is a loss for 10 weeks of 29 pounds or 13 kgs.  I have to say I am happy with that.

Oh yeah, and SPIN class was awesome.  The instructor has been pushing us hard, especially the regulars, and often jumps off his bike to tweak our resistance higher.   I really work up a sweat, and today I gave everything I had and boy, did I feel great afterward.  Must be getting fitter by now!
