It begins...

One Hundred Pushups

I did the initial test this morning. I actually did better than I had expected, though not nearly as well as I would have liked.

I am back.

I haven't been posting, but this time, there's a good reason. I wanted to come back with good news. I ate like crap Valentine's weekend. Got some exercise, but not enough to offset it. I started Weight Watchers again last Sunday. I have now lost nine pounds since Monday, February 14th, when I was at 335 lbs. Yes, you read that correctly. 335. I had gained back more than half of my previous Weight Watchers loss. All of it since October. There are a number of reasons, none of them good enough.

As of this morning, I re-lost nine of those pounds, putting me at 326 even. Hoo-rah!

And, I will be starting a new program this week, in addition to WW. http://www.hundredpushups.com/index.html

So, I am on my way to my academy weight of 295. My goal weight initially will be 302. My eventual goal is 235-250, which I figured as an optimal healthy weight, along with the police academy nutritionist/coach.

Ok, I screwed up...

I knew I needed to be posting here, but I let some things get in the way. Mainly my own laziness. But I am back. I didn't even track today what I ate. I have had some days without workouts, and some with, some days where I ate heavy and some where I watched every bite I took. I need more consistency. So. Here I go again.

I can do this. I can be the healthy person I want to be. I just have to work at it.

A beginning...

Last year, I lost 50 pounds using WeightWatchers. I lost it in about three months, and kept it off for 7 months. Then I got swine flu/bronchial infection/pneumonia, lost my job and got pretty depressed, seeing as how I pretty much could do nothing but sit for three months. I gained back 19 pounds. I had decided already I wasn't going to go down that road again, and put a halt to the gain. This week, an old friend inspired me with her weight loss progress, so I figured I'd begin again. Today was the first day of this particular leg of my weight loss journey, and it didn't go as well as I had hoped. But it is a start, nonetheless. There are a few things I know about myself, remarkably similar to those my friend posted.
-I have to exercise to keep the weight off. If I stop exercising, it will come back.
-I have to not skip meals, except for breakfast. I usually don't want anything in the morning. I do better if I skip breakfast, eat a big lunch, and a light dinner, with small snacks as necessary throughout the day. This has proven true throughout my life, particularly when I was activiely losing weight.
-I am a lazy bastard, and will find excuses not to exercise, until I get into a pattern.
-There is no good reason why I should be the size that I am. While not grossly obese, I am at a size where I can not do all that I want to do, and that is going to change.
