In the words of Tom Petty........"The Waiting is the hardest part"

As of this mornings weigh:

Loss this week: 1.4 lbs

Total Loss: 93.2 lbs.

Left to goal: 6.8 lbs.


Honestly, I had targeted this week as the week I wanted to get to the goal. Even though the original date set was July 9th (18 days away) I really had wanted to reach it before the World Series of Poker event.

I have had an interesting last 4 weeks of weight loss:

1.6
.8
5.8
1.4

Who the heck knows the science of losing weight. I went about 20 weeks averaging about 4 lbs per week and then BAM....everything goes crazy.

I am more determined than ever. The compliments are coming from all over the place. People stop me on my morning walk and tell me how great I look and congratulating me on the results. I am not going to lie.....It feels great when a neighbor pulls over, rolls down their window and says...." Rick, You are a Shadow of your former self! How much weight have you lost?"

6.8 lbs. to go!
