Only nine workouts left

So after my Tuesday rest day after Monday's god awful workout I did my next workout this morning, it focused on upper body and core muscles which turned out not to be too bad. I didn't quite get to the 300 calorie burned mark that I normally like to get to but it still felt like a good workout. When I weighed in this morning I had lost another 1.1 lbs, which I was surprised about, but now I am only 1.2 lbs away from hitting  that goal of 210 by Friday morning. I am thinking it is going to happen but we will know for sure in a couple of days won't we. When I got dressed this morning and put my belt on I had to put it on the last hole in the belt so it looks like I am going to be adding one brown belt and one black belt to my shopping list when I decide to break down and get some clothing that fits. The part of all this that I find so funny is that most people are just now starting to tell me I look like I have lost a little bit of weight (54 lbs later) but hey at least they are saying it. I really do enjoy seeing the weigh go down each week and I am still motivated to continue but I am very very tired of dieting. If I could hit a pizza or Chinese buffet I would tear it up right now. The good thing is I have made a bit of a life style change so that when I do go off the diet I will still eat healthy and it won't take a pound and a half of food to make me full like it once did. If I keep going the way I have been then it looks like I should get to my goal weight right about the time we would go into the holiday season so that will be the best test for me. I did read somewhere a long time ago that when you lose weight the fat cells don't go away they just get smaller and they are more than happy to fill themselves backup if you give them the chance. I know this to be true as I have lost around 100 lbs twice in my life already and this would be the third and final time that I want to do so. This is the one thing that is always on the back of my mind is gaining it all back once I stop, but this time I am going to do everything I can to stop that from happening.
