Getting Started

Welcome back! In case you missed my last blog post, I am back on my weight loss journey. Today is the first weigh in since I started on my birthday just three days ago. I typically weigh every fifth day. Usually that would be the 5th, 10, 15th, 20th, 25th, and 30th on those months that have 30 days. My plan right now is to do a video blog update on the 1st of every month. I like this idea because then I would be able to see my transformation captured in video format. What do you think?

I was able to make some progress in these three short days. Getting started is always difficult because it is hard to break patterns of behavior and start new ones. If I had to rate myself on how well I accomplished this it would probably only be a C+. I had one day where I went a little overboard and that is always disappointing. Still, as long as I have more positive days than negative, I should lose weight. That was the case for this weigh in.

I was able to drop a little more than 1 pound (1.2) since February 22nd. My current weight is 380.0 pounds. At this weight I know that I can do better. On the other hand, three days is not a very long time frame to do it in.

The next weigh in will be on February 1st. I will have a write up here summarizing my monthly progress and will also have an accompanying video blog post as well. Keep your eyes out for that and thanks for following along. Time to get busy. Goodbye for now!
