2020 Hindsight

Wow. That last post seemed like a few weeks ago… not nine months already. MUCH has happened in that nine months.  Big things:

1. Lost a ton of weight, and it wasn’t that hard. I don’t know what I weighed back in May — but well over 300 pounds.  In late August, I started an mashup of “intermittent fasting” and “keto” (low carb / high fat). I didn’t record get a starting weight, but ballpark 300 pounds. About ten days into it I weighed in at 296… something like that. Now — 5 months-ish later — January 2020 — I’m in the low 250 pounds…. with another 40(+/-) to go.
2. Tinder/Bumble — I set up profiles in August (+/-) and have met/dated a few women. No details to share, but suffice it to say, I’m back in the saddle.

Both-of-the-above seem to have gone hand-in-hand in a strange way. Getting fit/skinnier has boosted the confidence, and getting some lovin’ from the ladies even further and keeps me on track.

I have *not* gotten a lot of cardio exercise, however, so I intend to make that my goal for 2020 (not sure what the goal is, yet, beyond, “Just Do It!”  I’m reasonably active on my day job as a general contractor, but jog a half block and I’m winded. Time to get that going.  I’m planning to join a local gym and then going to squeeze in some morning workouts.  I’ll report back. Wish me luck.
