<human>: I decided to drop some weight this vacation (starting 12/17) and now, with the vacation over, I am down 25 pounds. I am below 210 for the first time in maybe 9 years, hitting that weight range was one of my most intense, unapproachable feeling goals. The NSVs that accompanied this were fantastic. I have nerve damage in my left arm, issues with a few of my ribs due to childhood injuries and lifting weights has always been the most difficult thing for me. This vacation I went from struggling to bench 60 pounds to struggling to bench 115 pounds, curling 8 pounds to curling 30 pounds and my default jogging speed has gone from 4mph to 5mph, the amount of time I can run (7mph and up) has also increased dramatically. The one downside to my workouts is that I bought shorts before my diet with the goal of fitting into them after I lost weight (they were just a little too tight to get on) and instead my pants size has gone up and now I am nowhere near fitting in them. I feel good about how I look for the first time in 10 years or so (or at least think I look passable) and that is perhaps the best NSV of all. Actually having biceps/traps/budding pectoral muscles that are visible is nice too.

I posted here a few weeks ago, my diet was somewhat unhealthy. I have worked out every day this vacation for an absolute minimum of 1.5 hours a day and for awhile I was on 700 calories a day (which is not the best idea I have heard) but transitioned up due to advice from friends/the post I made and ended up closer to the 1200-1500 range. I jogged, ran, lifted and did some basic curling/rowing machine exercises in my workout plan. My unrealistic expectation for this vacation was 17 pounds down, my even more unrealistic 22 and my pie in the sky, no way I thought I could do it goal was 25. I hit it while increasing strength, feeling great and never going hungry. Good times.

<bot>: I lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks, I am sleeping better, running/lifting way better and I am feeling positive about my body for the first time in my post pubescent life.
