NWLJ - Week 9: Back into the Swing of Things

Hey everyone. If you haven't noticed, it's been two weeks since I last posted anything on my weight loss attempt. That's because I've been lazy. Hey! I'm allowed once in a while. I haven't been eating as healthy as I should have been, and I haven't exercised or walked consistently in that time. And by consistently, I mean almost at all. True, I went for a hike with the family this past weekend, and I did finally workout at Danny and Rachel's this week, but overall, I've been very disappointed in myself. I'm getting back into the rhythm again, however. Here's hoping I can stick with it again. I'm sure I can. Just hope the weather gets better.

You'll also notice that I'm going with the weekly format. I've realized I don't have enough material or desire to fill a daily blog. At least not a weight loss blog. I'm sure you don't want to hear about my day-to-day eating habits, without something interesting or humorous to go with it. God knows I don't! I mean, if I wanted to read something that bland, I could read a political blog or a tabloid. Tabloids are like greasy fries: full of juicy stuff but no substance! No offense to anyone who enjoys them, they're just not my cup of tea. Weekly World News? Different story! Totally cheesy and ridiculous, but that's why I like it! That probably says volumes about me...

Well, two Wednesdays have passed since my last post, so a quick update. On May 3rd, I weighed in at 276.4 lbs. This past Wednesday, I weighed in at 276.8. Yeah I gained a small amount, but that could be a glass of water! Generally, considering I haven't been strict about my recent eating habits, that's not bad! To put that in perspective, I've lost about 15 lbs in about 8 weeks! I call that progress! I have to keep that in mind. I've been getting so wound up in the smaller increments that I've lost sight on the accomplishments I've made! People are saying I look thinner, and that's good. It's encouraging. Let's keep that going.

Well, that's all for now. I think I'll try to get these posts in on Wednesdays from now on. See you then!
