Resolution check (part 2)

At the start of 2009 I made a 20 lb weight loss resolution. By April I had successfully completed this goal. Good for me! Fresh off my weight loss high I was ambitious and created a mid year resolution to lose another 20 lbs. It is September and I hang my head in shame as I admit that the second goal failed miserably. It is the eating thing that's my biggest battle. Although I have continued to workout there was a span of a couple months in the summer that I ate very poorly. With the stress of work I just wasn't planning my meals properly and didn't have any energy (or time) to do any cooking. Excuses, excuses!

To get back on track with my mid year resolution I have entered a weight loss 'competition' with my personal trainer. In hindsight, it was probably not a good idea. We are talking about someone who is schooled in nutrition and, as I learned today, rows 6,000 km in 25 minutes. Have I lost my mind?!

Regardless of the outcome, it feels great to get on track again with my goals. Weight loss is hard and it sucks but with a little will power and perseverance I'm looking forward to the lighter me. Imagine the havoc I'll wreak on the tennis court without this extra weight in my way.
