I'm Late! (-11#)

I really meant to start this sooner, I did.  It's something I've wanted to do.  Something for me?  Yeah, I think so.  Something that will help me remember. . .THIS IS HARD.  Yeah, that's the primary thing I want to remember.  I always tell my son that nothing worth doing is easy, but this is a mind-game waiting to break me.  I'm just going to have to man up and soldier through.  It worked when I quit smoking so it should work here too right?  My mind over all that delicious matter. . .

So to recap, i'm 2 weeks into my meltdown madness initiative.  My goal is to end at around 190lbs.  I've decided to use exercise and the atkins diet as a vehicle to achieve my goal.  Before New Years I lost 4 pounds - i'm going to count it in my overall goal, but it's not technically part of the meltdown madness.  The first official week I lost four pounds, the second week I lost three.  I am NOT looking at overall weight - my wife is actually doing the looking so I don't feel discouraged at my request.

I'm really interested in cataloging this journey though.  When i'm done, I want to be able to look back and say "yeah, I conquered that too".  Maybe i'll show this blog to my fat friends or family and say "hey, do that - it worked for me, amirite?"  Mostly I want a place to come bitch when things start sucking.  My family doesn't need to hear me complain and it's gotta go somewhere right?  So congratulations internet, you get to be useful and take one for the team.  I plan to update at least once per week - more is possible if I have a particularly loud complaint.
