The pressure is on
Things are heating up. There is a definite zero-day by which I want to look my best, and it is fast approaching. For me, zero day is the last week in June. That gives me about a month to drop as much weight as possible, keep up my discipline, and keep pushing my workout routine.
I haven’t disappointed myself too much lately; I’ve been excelling at the exercise, doing relatively well on the diet, and been trying to squeeze in extra workouts when I can. Today I did some heavy shoveling-type of yardwork, and did a 3 mile bike ride; every day I am doing some kind of workout that makes me look back and say “Wow, I kicked ass. No regrets.”
I’ve been displaying an uncharacteristic discipline in avoiding eating like a fat kid as well. There are cookies in the house; haven’t touched them. There is cherry coke; haven’t gone near it. For the most part I’ve been sticking to the proper ratio of carbs/protein/fat. It’s beginning to pay off for real; at this point there is a definite noticeable weight loss and I can see it in many different ways.
The weight will definitely come off; I started to see that tonight as I got into a rhythm; there comes a point when you stop and look at what you’re doing, and you realize just how much you’ve changed. I reached that point tonight. I am actually working out. I am actually losing weight. I’m becoming more focused, more disciplined, and more determined to reach my goal; at this point, it’s just cake. Even if I just kept pace with what I’m doing right now I’d still be doing really well; however, I think it’s just going to get better and better as the weeks go on.
Shenanigans are afoot. I aim to be ready for them.

Like before, noticeable differences are the greatest motivators in a quest like this.
And you're apparently reached a point where you're not willing to compromise your goal now. You don't think twice about turning down food, snacks, and the like. That's a GREAT place to be. Keep at it.
We must walk in LA. I can't wait. I love that city, I know some cool places we can walk.
Also, a quick note. This time of year, watch out for ticks. I don't know if they're as bad in the D as they are around here, but try and stay out of tall grass. I've been bit by a few before when getting into tall grass. They suck in more ways than one.
