Long time no update!

5 months in and I'm now down to 172 (from 183), I've fully lost 3 inches on my waist (my wife says I don't have a belly anymore while my kid no longer slaps my belly and goes "Daddy's big belly"). This is the thinnest I've been in about 12 years or so - my wedding suit from 11 years ago is a bit loose on me. Other than regular exercise I'm no longer actively trying to lose weight - my diet is pretty casual (though better than before - I've had only 1 Costco hot dog this year). That said, I wouldn't mind gradually getting down into the low 160s which would put me around my year 2000 weight.

I'm signing up for a personal trainer via the City of Burnaby (finally) so I get more focused strength and cardio gains. While I'm happy with my day to day functional fitness and energy I still feel below average - I want to run a 5k in 30-35m for one thing and I want some excess strength for day to day stuff.

Blood test is next and I'm hoping to see improvement in my A1C and cholesterol. Also hopping Kensington Lifelabs hottie is available for a poke.
