For me, this is big news…

That’s what I weighed when I stepped on the scale this morning. It’s the first time I’ve weighed under 190 since January 2010. This means that my initial baby-steps back to proper diet and fitness are paying off. It means I lost 3.7 pounds this past week. If I could only keep it up until my birthday April 7th, then that would really be something.

Now it’s time to quicken my pace, lengthen my stride as it were–no more baby-steps. I need to start actually working out again and stop being reticent–or is it just lazy.

I’m thinking about writing up a longish post about what’s going on with me right now which will explain some of my rationale for this–what I’m calling my Mid-life Recalibration. I’m feeling pretty good about it all…
