A sighting of double digits

I normally only mention my weight on Mondays with my weekly weigh in posts. However, I do actually weigh myself daily and record it on my skinnyr graph as I find it helps keep me on program.
Today I reached a major if unofficial goal of mine. I weighed in at under 100 kilograms! 99.8 kg (220 pounds) to be exact. I realise that I’m probably not quite there yet as my weight does tend to fluctuate a bit but it has been sighted so it will be a reality very soon. I am now at the lightest weight I have been since I was about 21 which was almost 13 years ago. More and more people have been commenting so the difference must be becoming more apparent.
While my primary focus is getting fit I still do want to lose weight as I am still carrying too much excess baggage around the middle. I really believe that the running has helped me facilitate both goals and, more surprisingly, it has turned out to be a really enjoyable activity (when I’m not hating it!).
After the shenanigans of my Tuesday run I needed to go for another one on Wednesday to make up for the fact that I didn’t hit my distance or time goal. So I decided to take it easy and do a 30 minute run at 10 kph the whole way. That would give me 5K in 30 minutes. I managed to do this reasonably comfortably (on the treadmill) so I am back on track with the OHR program.
Double digits!!! Too exciting!

That’s a huge milestone! Congrats, Andrew.
I’m gonna convert to metric soon — only way I’ll ever see double digits — well, at least while I’m alive.

Thanks Marshmallow - it’s been a long time coming.
Jeff: If we were double digits in the imperial system then we’d be rather odd looking fellows!

You’re in the neighborhood; that’s all that matters! Congratulations!

That’s great! I love these “first sightings”, because they just confirm that one is doing the right stuff and getting healthier all the time!
Congrats!

Major milestone my man - well done.
Now be honest - do you only step on those scales once a day or are you a “multiple times daily” man like me!

Hahaha…I’m a multiple man.
It did, it did…

Thanks a huge accomplishment. Here in the US, we all get super excited when we hit “Onederland” or under 200 pounds. You’ll get there too!

Hi TB - I’m really looking forward to that goal! My next major goal will be 100 pounds lost. It’s getting closer.
