Tightening Up My Strength Training Routine

December 24, 2007

Adding a morning strength training routine to my daily schedule has been one of the best things I have done over the last five months of my journey from fat to fit.  It’s also been one of the most challenging.  Because of my travel and work schedule I was already getting up early in the […]

December 23, 2007

Diet starting weight: 295 Week starting weight: 267 Today’s weight: 266 Week weight loss: 1 lb Total weight lost: 29 lbs I really thought I was going to do better this week than a 1 pound loss.  Yesterday I actually weighed in at 265 so I thought there was a good chance I’d be reporting […]

Diet starting weight: 295 Week starting weight: 267 Today’s weight: 266 Week weight loss: 1 lbs Total weight lost: 29 lbs I didn’t have losing 30 pounds as one of my official milestones (50 is the first one), but there is no question that the “decades” represent a significant accomplishment.  To say “I’ve lost 30 pounds” would […]

I’m Still Fat But I’m Already a New Me

September 19, 2007

I’ve been referring to my weight loss program as a journey to a new me.  I expect the journey to take two years although that is only the start - it needs to be for the rest of my life. I’m down 14 pounds in the first month and a half or so of my […]

4 Observations From the First 45 Days of a New Me

September 14, 2007
