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. . .

SORRY! OK, not really (0#)

So straight out of the gate, i'm going to admit the truth - I avoided you last week.  I went to the gym, I weighed in.  It wasn't good.  I was up two pounds.  I can't imagine why - I hadn't broken my diet, I hadn't stopped with the gym. . .I was doing everything I was supposed to be doing and NOT doing things I SHOULDN'T have been doing.  So what happened?  Why the gain?  No idea.  It was embarassing though, and I didn't know what to say. . .so I said nothing. 

But!  Yes, BUT!!!!  Redemption was achieved!  I am back to where I was before!  I have, over the last two weeks, a net loss (or gain) of zero!  That's what's important, right?  I did change things up a bit.  I went from 20 pound weights x 2 to 25 pound weights x 2.  I changed my cardio from a 2.5@80RPM / .5@100RPM / 2@75RPM elliptical routine to a .5@100RPM / 1@75RPM routine.  Higher impact apparently paid dividends.  I'm hoping that it continues to work.  I'm also looking to cut some calories from my diet in addition to what i'm currently doing in the hopes that between the two i'll meet my goal by the end of next month.  Kinda weird to think that I only have 8 weeks left to go to meet my goal.  That's pretty tight considering I still have 14 pounds to go.  Only a single week's leeway if I fall off my 2 pounds per week trend.  Gotta stay focused - not much longer now!
