What is this blog about?

What is this blog about? It started as a sort of journal about the journey I thought I was taking - one of weight loss. You see, my wife inspired me to finally change my ways, get off the couch and start working on being healthy. I'm selling it short, but that's the gist of it. In any case, the efforts I made to lose weight resulted in developing a love for fitness, and I've decided to carry on with it.

Here at last is my story. . .

Ugh (+1#)

So I didn't post on Thursday.  That wasn't an accident - it was a rotten day.  I didn't expect a big loss, switching from the Monday to Thursday weigh-in meant only 3 days between weigh-ins, and that's ok.  I didn't expect to gain though, and I did.  Dear Dr Atkins - METABOLIC ADVANTAGE MY ASS.  Ugh.  It's really discouraging.  I'm really starting to wonder if my big loss week was due more to my exercise change than ongoing diet.  The diet doesn't seem to be doing much at all anymore.  I'm really dedicated to this goal, but if this isn't working I need to find something that will.

In other news, i'm completely bored with food.  I only eat anymore because I need to.  I don't look forward to meals at all.  It's always either steak, chicken, eggs or cheese.  That's all there is.  So boring.  Yes, I know I could prepare it differently. . .it's still either steak, chicken, eggs or cheese though.  I want some bread!  I WANT SOME ICE CREAM.

In other news, tomorrow is Valentine's day.  I guess that means it's time for romance and other equally asinine reasons to go out and support our local confectionary economies.  The fortunate thing here is that I am not expected to eat anything odd, just the women.  I guess this kind of works out for me?  Typically I'd take the Mrs out for a deliciously overpriced meal at one of our fine local eateries, but this year i'm going to cook instead.  Lobster is the plan - bacon wrapped asparagus on the side.  Decadent I know, especially during a weight loss period, but I know she's never eaten a whole lobster so it's an event meal.  I think we even have some good ole crackers for things like this she got for some crabbies she had some time ago.  If not, i'll break out a hammer and a knife.  Either way, we will definitely be eating those suckers.  Plus it's finally something different to eat!  Huzzah!
