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. . .

No News is Good News

Well, the good news is that I gained zero pounds.  The bad news is that I lost zero pounds.  This should totally be a win for me given how I ate over the last week, but consider this:
  • two weeks ago I weighed in - down two pounds
  • one week ago I did not weigh in, though I had been going to the gym for the week leading up to it faithfully and eating well also so I can only anticiapte I lost my traditional two
  • Yesterday I weighed in the at the same weight I brought in two weeks ago
I can assume one of two things here.  One, I lost two pounds and then gained them back over my weeklong vacation.  Two, I didn't lose any weight at all and only maintained.  I'll be honest, my preference is option #1.  I prefer that because at least then I know it was isolated and can manage it through diet and exercise.  If it's option #2, then i'm plateauing and will need to find ways to change what i'm doing in order to continue my losing trend (OMGWORK!!!).  The silver lining on option #2 is that I can at least say that I am capable of balancing eating good stuff with bad stuff to maintain.  Still, those two together still aren't as good as option #1 from my point of view.  We'll see about it by Monday though.

In other news, yesterday I was crushing it at the gym.  Cardio day.  I could not get winded.  I was doing HIIT stuff too - 2:30 at 80 RPM, :30 at 90 RPM, 2:00 at 70 RPM, rinse, repeat.  That felt really good.  I can't wait to see what I do today.
