D-Day + 5 weeks, South Beach beachhead

While the invasion is not complete, we are over one third of our way to victory.  We have substantial forces on the ground and we have a very large defensive perimeter.  Our goal is to eliminate 56 pounds.  We are 36% the way there with a loss of 20.5 pounds!  Yes!  We have vanquished over 20 pounds!  We are months away from a ‘Mission Accomplished’ sign, we may make substantial gains just in time for the holidays.  Weight loss has average about 4 pounds per week.  If I maintain that average, I will need about 9 more weeks.  That will be just in time to hit South Padre at the end of October!  Slim & trim on the beach with my bikini babe of a wife with me!  WooHoo!  Even though there have been some setbacks, family in town, too lazy to make yet another salad, the weight does seem to drop.  This is a lifestyle change, we just have to learn to not have these setbacks three times a day!
