I've reached my first major milestone today - 20+ pounds lost!!! And three weeks ahead of schedule! My initial projections put me at 242 by the end of June. It was my goal to lose 30 pounds by opening weekend of my next show, "Incorruptible" at Circle Theatre which will be mid-July.

I'm starting to see and feel it mostly in my face. I can feel cheek bones. My friend Andy noticed that I'm moving differently. My resting heart rate isn't through the roof. I feel better.

There are still days that I want to just eat everything in sight. I need to learn that it's okay to have days like that - and indulging isn't necessarily a sin; but making it a habit is.

My next challenge comes this week as my wife leaves town for an administrators' conference in Austin. I usually like to order pizza or eat out while she's gone. However, I'm now doing this for ME - not her. I'll be just fine this week.
