Weigh In

I'm still on track. I lost another 3lb this week, so that puts me at 24lb's down. It's pretty exciting. I'm still having some trouble with my workouts because of the time issue, but it will work out eventually. Today I preached at church and it went well God did some really neet stuff and our home fellowship group this evening was good too. After group we had a "tail gate" party for the superbowl and watched it on the big screen. It was fun even though I don't really care about football. Well, it's off to bed I have to get up at 4a to open the store.

Can I eat that?

Well, I've been changing my diet for a month now and things are going good. I've lost 21 lb, I'm starting to have more energy, my clothes are loose fitting and I can walk up our stairs without getting winded. It's been long enough now that we're seeing fitness and eating in a different light and dare I say...liking it? One interesting thing that's changing is not so much what we'll eat, but what we'll try. Tonight we had our first 100% turkey burgers and we loved them. They were really good. Kari especially has been open to try new things, which is sooo not her. I'm really proud of her, she's doing much better than I am when it comes to exercising. That's my big hurdle I have to get over. The problem is I get up early for work, work all day on my feet and then when I get home I really just want to sit and rest my feet. And then by the time they feel better its dinner time and then its time to get the girls ready for bed or I have something else I need to do and then its bed time. Anyways, there are still changes to my life style needing to be made to allow for more fitness time. But I'm still happy with the results so far.

Until A Thinner Me

The Biggest Loser.....Hopefully

Ok, as most of you know I've been sick since Thanksgiving. Well I went to the doctor in December and got some rather startling news. No, I don't have some rare desease, although I don't think these bozo's could diagnose it even if I did. Actually it was my weight that was so startling. I haven't had my weight taken in at least a year. I was 309 lb. That is the highest I've ever been or ever will be, because I decided that I needed to make some major changes. I set my mind to lose the weight. My goal is to be below 180 lb by next February/March. To help me get a good start I joined the Discovery National Body Challenge, and so far so good. This month I've lost 21 lb! I'm really happy about it, but I've got a long way to go. The Challenge is 8 weeks long and I'd like to lose 30 lb during the challenge. Kari has also joined me and is doing really well too, but I'll let her tell you about that. I've tried losing weight before but this time something is different. Before I've dieted, but this time it's about changing the way I live, eat and think. Maybe it's just me getting older, but I'm actually enjoying it. Although I really miss pizza!
