Day 183 m Six Months Anniversary

Today is the six month anniversary of my new regimen. I had hoped to lose more weight than I have (35 pounds) and reduce my waist farther than I have (8 inches) but overall I couldn't have asked for more. I haven't fallen back to poor dietary habits which was the hallmark of my first 70 years. My diet has produced excellent numbers on my blood and urine tests. I have no prostate problems. My physical condition is improving and my work with weights is starting to increase my definition. My lungs have cleared and their capacity improved substantially. I have many additional goals. Prominent among them is the reduction in calories of my daily consumption, elimination of my belly and strengthening my core.
