Losing Weight and Feeling Great
Saturday, August 30th 2014
Another week and another weigh-in. I look forward to Saturday all week long, not only because it marks the weekend but because it is my once-a-week opportunity to actually quantify my progress. Last week I weighed in at 306, this morning it dropped to 301.5.
