Day #172 - The Heavy Man, Travel Series Part 12a

Hello everyone, this is The Heavy Man, and I am writing today's post from sunny Florida. This week's business travel has brought both Patty and I to beautiful Orlando, FL. Unfortunately we are here on business and we are not going to be able to visit Disney World at all. It would be a different story if we only had one event to do tomorrow but we are stuck doing two. It started out as one event about a week and a half ago when we finalized it. And then suddenly turned into two events, when doing just one, didn't workout any more. Well needless to say, the show must go on!

I do on the other hand, have some good news today. When I woke up this morning to weigh myself, I received an unexpected surprise. I actually weighed in this morning at 228.4 lbs! It is funny because I have been expecting, the last two days, to go up in weight a little because I have grown accustom to the weight fluctuation happening after I lose a decent amount of weight in a short period of time. However, I have been experiencing a decline in weight, at a great pace, for the last couple of days. I only hope it keeps on going. I also should try and force myself to stop talking about it because I am only going to jinx myself.

I have been so focused on trying to get to 70 lbs lost as well as breaking into the 220s, the last few weeks, that I didn't even realize I have not had a cheat meal in a while. I am very proud of myself for trying to stay away from the one cheat meal a week plan. And I realize now, that I don't need that one meal a week to stay sane during my mission. I am so motivated and determined to keep on losing weight, that I am actually keeping myself sane in a way. It is even getting easier for me to constantly eat healthy on the road because I am so afraid of slipping and eating something unhealthy. I even manage to workout just about every day, in some way, when I am home and traveling. Anyway, I am exhausted from traveling today and I have an early morning coming up. I will talk to you all tomorrow.

With that being said, let's get to the details of the day:
