Update, after a few months.

Started the weight loss attempt a few months ago. After a good start, got sidetracked with some work travel and a trip to Vegas. Now, back to the grind, a new job which keeps me off the road. This time last week I was back to my start weight of 218. Today, glad to say I'm at 208.

Start weight = 218
Current weight = 208

Weight Loss = 10 lbs.

Week 1 Results

Small changes = small results.

Started my regimen last Monday, and in the past week have noted enough success to keep me interested in continuing the process.

Changes are small, less intrusive, and involve cutting out second helpings and eating less when I'm on the road, and trying to get in 3 workouts a week.

So, with those few changes, the past week has been a success.

Starting Weight = 218
Current Weight = 213

Lost so far = 5 lbs.

Tune in next week.....

Start of Week 1

I decided to embark on the journey, but will keep the goal under wraps for now, no sense putting any additional pressure on myself.

Going to try to lose some weight, regain some strength, and increase cardio capacity. Will spend most of the workout time at our community fitness center, and will try to keep the momentum going on the road. Nancy and the girls will be workout partners, as time and schedules permit.

We started yesterday, did 2 miles on the elliptical, 200 pushups with weighted resistance, and a few other circuit machines.

Starting weight: 218
Goal weight: 190

Below is the latest pic of me, taken with my immediate family. Will update with progress pics as the time goes by.

Wish me luck.....

Starting Over

Looking in the mirror over the past year or so has not been a happy experience.

I've become fat.

I've become lazy.

At 52, I don't have many chances left to savor the wonderful machine that God gave me, particularly if I keep treating it like a garbage can.

So, it is cliche' time.

Time to cut the fat.
Time to kick it into gear.
Put my nose to the grindstone.
Pull up my sleeves.
Put my back into it.
Slap me twice and call me Susie.
Punch the doggies.
Drop everything.
Take up the slack.
Pull my weight.
Tote the barge.
Lift the bail.
Shit or get off the pot.
Put up or shut up.
Decorate the mahogany.
Give it 110 percent.
Go for the gusto.
Take the bull by the horns.
Plop. Plop. Fizz. Fizz.
Time to make the donuts.
To not send a boy to do a man's job.
To wish upon a star.
To dream the impossible dream.
To go where no man has gone before.


In other words, I need a goal, something on the horizon that will make me want to lose weight and get in shape.

I think I've found it, but I have to do a little more investigation. Undertakings of this grand nature take resources, and a plan must be formulated, and the family consulted. And, most importantly, my willpower must be measured. For if I progress down such a path, failure cannot be tolerated.

More to come on the subject......
