Hey all! To try to keep myself in the habit, I've decided to keep an online journal of my weight loss journey.
Just a little background on me before I begin... I've been a big guy for about 15 years, thanks to desk jobs and video games. to make matters worse, I work taking DNA samples for the state of Connecticut, and business is not exactly booming. What does that mean? I sit around for about 7 hours a day doing nothing. When I get home from work, (after an hour commute each way, mind you) I usually sit with my fiance and daughter at her house, or I come home and play on the computer. In other words, I live a very sedintary life. I've owned Wii Fit since the day it came out, almost a year, but really haven't used it extensively.
So, this past Tuesday, after a conversation at work about weight, I decided to get back into it, thinking I was about 265 lbs. To my surprise, I was 291 lbs! At my height, my BMI is 41.66! The next day, I tried eating differently, and gained half a pound! (BMI 41.72) That's when I decided I was going to have to do something differently to get results.
I bought two games at Best Buy, since they were on sale when you bought them both: My Fitness Coach and Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. After an evaluation, the premier recommended 15 minutes of exercise a day, five days a week. So, that's what I'm going to try to stick to. It's recommended that one exercises in the morning, which is going to be a challenge, since I don't sleep well, generally, and getting up in the morning is always an ordeal. However, they say that you sleep better if you exercise in the morning, so that might be the way to go. I think I should keep track of my eating habits as well, so I can see what I'm putting in me.
Well, here goes nothing!
Wish me luck!
Nick
