I am very pleased with the mental, physical, and emotional progress I have made thus far. It has exceeded my expectations.  Two weeks into the study and I am already in my target BMI range.  Currently I’m at a weight range that I hadn’t seen in two decades but I am fitter now than even then.  The physical aspect is a side benefit to the mental and emotional calm that I now feel most of the time as a result of my choices and actions.  As mentioned before, I am fascinated by all that happened in less than four months, yet the beginning of the study in April seems so long ago.  I miss the excitement of the learning pace at the beginning of the study and realize that focus and consistency will be the key to coming in strong for not only the last third of the study.  This will become the foundation for how I choose to live the rest of my life.
