Friday is dress down day in our office so I opted for some comfy faded jeans and a button down Oxford shirt. Those jeans have hung in my closet a long time awaiting a leaner Ray. When I was driving in to the office I looked down at myself I really could see the change 20lbs I've shed has made. I swear it all came out of my belly. My shirt is a bit of a tent on me. It took three months - I guess slow is good.
Everyone tells me that it weight loss will help with knees both for recovery after surgery and before with general mobility. My goal is to lose at least another 25. Yeah I've been carrying around 50 extra pounds. No wonder my knees are in long term protest I should have listened to them when they talked to me when I hit the stairs. "Your too H E A V Y !"
I read in one of the posts that it was a big mistake to carry extra weight into retirement. I can't help but notice my 90 year old uncle is lean as can be. So it's meat and veggies for me, very limited alcohol and force myself to be active as can be.
The plan: shed 25lbs more lbs (three to four months)
Get the knees done
Go on disability
When it runs out Retire.
It is going to be an interesting year....
