What is this Blog all about?

I have a hard time losing weight. I have an easy time gaining it! I have seen some weight-loss blogs online and decided that keeping track of my weight loss efforts, and dedicating a few minutes each day to updating this blog, might just keep me focused on losing weight for longer than 5 days. I’ll keep it simple, daily posts will be mostly kept to my new weight, maybe a few comments. If I am doing well I may expound on what I’m doing and put in in a sub category on the side bar.

I started this Blog on April 16th 2007. Here are my goals.

Goals:

1. Get down to 200 pounds and then evaluate new weight goal. I weighed 185 pounds on my wedding day almost 3 years ago, I have since gained 55.5 pounds and weighed in today at 240.5.
2. Run a 5k under 25 minutes by end of July, at that point schedule a marathon to train for. I used to run a lot, and now my weight has made it very hard on my joints, so I’ll start easy.
3. Update this blog at least 3 times a week. I feel continually updating this blog will give me a sense of accountability in my weight loss. I generally lose weight very quickly up front in past diets, but then fall off the diet and don’t get back on, my hope is that this will keep me on track.

Stats:

• April 16th 2007 I weighed in at 240.5 lbs (I’m only 5′11, so thats not good.)

• I just ran 2 miles last week, and it took me roughly 24 minutes! I’ll update this stat weekly.

Enjoy!
