I was due for an update on my weight loss program for a while, but simply lacked the time to do so. I am glad to report that since the end of April, I have reached my goal and lost 55 lbs (25 Kg). Yay for me
Here’s the updated graph.

Granted I could not weight myself as often as I usually did before in similar programs, this must be the smoothest gradual loss I have ever done. I am especially happy with this considering the amount of travelling in Europe at the beginning of the year. I have been very good at watching my diet and staying active.

The new challenge is now to keep the weight off. I can now relax the diet a bit and allow myself for a nice restaurant meal and cheating a bit, maybe once a week.
As for activities, it will be easier with the summer beginning. I have started swimming at the gym. I really like it. Most cardio exercises are focusing on the legs. With swimming, I can shift it to the arms. Also, I have just started biking again and intend to do several medium/long distance rides this summer. Finally, I still love rollerblading. The diversity of exercise should help me to stick to my plan for the coming months.
