Getting Started

Today begins a new week. Therefore, I think it will be a great time to start the self-discipline and change of personal habits.

The Honest Facts Right Now:

Weight: 219.7 lbs
Measurements
Waist: 42"
Arm: 15" (@5")
Thigh: 23" (@10")
BMI: 34.3

Water Consumption: maybe 4 glasses of water

Food Consumption: just about anything with sugar content but don't drink soda. Don't like fried food. Dislike cooking cause I hate clean up and most 'healthy' foods require time I am too lazy to spend on food prep.

Exercise: walking up the stairs. Truthfully, I hate exercise.

Goals for this week:
Exercise daily by walking up and down the local neighborhood 'hill o'death' every day.
Drink 8 glasses of water daily
Try 3 new 'healthy' recipes this week.

Just A Little Bit

Ever since the birth of my wonderful children I have struggled with weight gain. Over the past few months I have realized that most of the issues come from an incredible lack of discipline, carefree attitude, and an unrealistic understanding of my personal full length profile.

The ugly truth has been avoided and ignored for the past few months. But, that all changed when I needed to have a checkup and found that I am the heaviest I have ever been.

I need to loose 50 pounds! Hence the Blog name. While shopping to restock the pantry I purchased the 50 lb bag of rice and it hit me. What I lifted into the cart was the amount of extra poundage I have been carrying around on me. UGH!

Moment of truth and the realization that current approaches and methods haven't worked. My accountability needs to be public - or at least the possibility of public.

I don't want trendy, I don't want sappy. I certainly am not going to spend money for someone to tell me 'good job' and weigh me. Instead, this will be my 'public' journal.
