Peter's pretty amazing!

Have I mentioned how awesome Peter is? 

How proud of him I am?

How impressive his resolve/commitment is?

This is what he saw on the scale on November 4th.  Less than 10 months from when he started focusing on losing weight and becoming more healthy, he had lost more than 150 lbs.  These are results up there with what people on "Biggest Loser" accomplish, even better than what some of those people accomplish!  I think it's just AWESOME!  I would have NEVER thought he could weigh less than 200 lbs.  He seemed to be one of those people with "big bones" that wouldn't be able to get that low.

The Good/Bad News about how he accomplished it -  Eating right, sticking to his eating plan, and working out regularly. 

Good news: It's simple and anyone could to it. 

 Bad news: There was no magic bullet.  Nothing special that made it happen.  It was all about just being committed to eating healthy and working out.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that he IS still my husband.  He doesn't feel like my husband, he doesn't look like my husband, and sometimes he doesn't act like my husband (turning down pizza?!  What?!).  There was a moment when I was flying for work and was sitting next to a larger gentleman.  For a second, (don't think I'm crazy) I thought about asking him if I could slip my arm into his and cuddle into his side.  Of course I didn't ask, I'm not THAT crazy.  But it certainly caused me to stop and think...  I love Peter's awesome results but there are moments, usually when we are cuddling on the couch, that I miss my old squishy husband.  He sure was more comfortable than this new, hard, husband.  :)  However, despite this small thing I wouldn't change it back to the way it used to be.  He's more playful, happy, and impresses me continually with his athletic ability not to mention how HANDSOME he is!  I'll take things things over a comfy husband anyday.  And I am sure with time, my new muscular, hard husband will feel "comfortable" to me too.

Super proud of you, Peter - you are a rockstar!
