Current Weight
10st 1lb
(Week #20 - Weekly Loss 0lb / Total Loss 2st)
The time has come for me to end this blog, but not my new healthier lifestyle. A week today I return to the wonderful world of gainful employment and with it my time will be restricted. I am making changes all over the place right now and I cannot commit to blogging at this time, certainly not to the extent I believe the level of dedication this site deserves.
This is not the end of The Real Slim Shandy. I'll be leaving the website online, I just won't be active on it. I won't be giving up my pursuit to be The Real Slim Shandy either. Far from it. Part of this difficult decision is based on making priorities and my better eating and regular exercise come before blogging about it.
The past five months (give or take) has been an incredible journey. I honestly wasn't sure where I was headed with all this when I started out 20 weeks ago, but there is no way I could have predicted not only my weight loss, newfound ability to cook or self imposed regular dedicated exercise. Above that though are the many comments, support and advice along the way. The encouragement, the camaraderie was something I really didn't expect and has been a beautiful surprise.
There is no way I can thank everyone individually who has been part of this site on any level but I want to take this moment to make it clear that what started out as a reason to keep pressure on myself, quickly turned into a warm, inviting, friendly place where I could remain just as honest without fear of prejudice or mockery. Where help was always available and understanding was the bottom line in every thing posted here, blog and comment. I am very proud of what I have achieved here, but I am even more proud of what we have achieved together.
I have a few more pounds to lose, but I'm confident I will get there. I take immense pride in the changes I've made thus far and I am going to do my very best for that not to go to waste... or should that be waist?! Yeah, none of us will miss those terrible puns of mine!
Thank you for being part of this truly amazing journey and if you have any desire to continue following my life then please check out my Twitter.
Jase a.k.a. The Real Slim Shandy (one day - very soon!)
