There. I said it. Summer vacation is done. Independence Day is past. The big food times are gone by.
Plus, I'm pushing a 40" waist again . . . it probably is 40" if I were honest with myself.
I'm 51, going on 52 years old. I weigh 242 lbs. at 9:30 p.m. today. For several years now my doctor has told me to get under 200 lbs. and I have defied him. I've gotten close. Just a year and a half ago I was down to 212.
So this is my start. A very public way of shedding my weight.
What do I hope to accomplish with this blog?
Well, if anyone reads it, I hope to have a sense of accountability that I am unable to do myself.
I also hope to try a few things from failed diets and plans in the past. I lost the most weight ever on Atkins, but I got tired of meat and cheese and eggs all the time. I lost weight on Weight Watchers, but I also lost a lot of money. I lost a lot of weight and got in the best shape of my life about 15 years ago, but I spent so much time at the gym that I lost a sense of priorities.
Another thing will be to patch together a plan that works for me.
One thing that works is a food journal, so I'm going to post that daily. Again, for accountability.
Today -
Breakfast: fat free yogurt, a banana, and watermelon
Dinner: Chef salad with no dressing, two chocolate/marshmallow brownies, skim milk
Supper: Nachos Grande with chicken, sour cream, guacamole, and a whole basket of chips with pico de gallo
Snack: Homemade chocolate ice cream
Yikes :-)
See you tomorrow.
