Fall is coming and it can't get here soon enough as far as I'm concerned. These next few months are far and away my favorite time of year. Although the last third of the year definitely provides a number of obstacles for anyone trying to lose weight. The start of football season (tailgating and parties), Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years -- and for me, a birthday thrown in the mix. It's a great time of year for spending time with friends and family, but not so great for losing weight. I'm trying to gear up mentally for it now. I'm not exactly sure how to go about it but I'll figure something out.

 

Oh look. I'm down 30 pounds. Hot damn.
