Third weigh-in: 4.4 pounds lost. That's 15.6 pounds over three weeks (and 6.4 oz behind my wife's three week total). There's 6.5% less of me than there was three weeks ago.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could "cash in" on our weight loss percentage somewhere? Lose 6.5% of your weight = 6.5% discount on an oil change ... or maybe something a little more exciting than that. Unfortunately, there's no "Frank's Fat Exchange Rate" ... at least I haven't found one yet.
Warning: While trying to come up with something clever, I realized I was wrong. There is an exchange for my fat ... I'm exchanging unhealthy choices for healthy ones.
If I hadn't started making better choices, it would have almost certainly cost me more than 6.5% of the remaining time I have to see my kids grow up. You can't make unhealthy choices without consequences and I feel like 6.5% is just a portion of the investment I'm making in myself and in family. The rate of return on that will be priceless.
