I'm scratching my head with this one, but I've weighed myself a couple times over the last couple days. The result is accurate. I've somehow posted a big loss this week. The combo of being sick, working hard, getting more cardio in than strength training, and cutting back on extra calories has paid off. I don't expect my body to keep this going for next week, but I'm very happy for this weigh in.
What this means is that I have crossed the 190 mark, having only 10 to go til the big 200, and 40 to go til 50% loss. I have also hit the goal of my challenge, and so I will set a further goal of 6 more pounds before Jan 9th. That will take me to 267, which is a pound less than my lowest weight in seminary.
As we prepare for the coming of the Lord at Christmas, I reflect on the role of the Virgin Mary, who allowed this wonderful mystery to unfold with a simple "yes" to the Lord. May we continue to give our "yes" to this endeavor, knowing that with the Lord all things are possible.
