Day 55 - Weight 290.4 lbs. - Winding Down?

I can't be 100% sure but I think Monday, April 4 is the final day and will begin a week of redoing the benchmark WODs from eight weeks ago. Tomorrow, Sunday, is Day 56 so it makes sense. Given the impending end of the challenge, I'm gonna leave a single chocolate block for Monday's pre-WOD snack, which is one point, so I come in under 30 points.

I saw 290 today. I'd like to see 289 by Monday morning, but either way I've already lost more than 25 pounds since the challenge began--that's net weight because I've added meat and lost fat. The truth is that if I keep working, 289 is inevitable, as is 189. It's just a matter of time.

I looked closely in the mirror today while washing my hands at the movie theater, and my face was so different. I can't say for sure that I'm completely sold on my sorry attempt at a moustache--Japanese guys have more than I do--but I like the way it's different. Maybe not recognizing myself is a good thing. That other guy is gone for good. In perusing the CrossFit pics on the Facebook site I got to one of my favorites of Ashley and me post WOD, kinds hanging out together for the camera. That guy has the discipline haircut but his face... it's vaguely familiar but it's not me anymore.

I have begun all these paragraphs with the word "I." That's not the best writing; usually I try to mix it up better. Oh well. God help me if a client reads this stuff...

I might be a wake-up away from seeing 289 on the scale so I must press on.
