The reason I am starting this blog is so that I can journal my progress with my weight loss. I want to be around for a long time so that means changing my life style. I have been struggling to lose this weight for quite some time. This is basically for me but any comments and words of encouragment is welcomed. My favorite show is the biggest loser and is most defientely my inspiration. This is going to be the year I conquer my weight problem. Hence, A Happy New Year... A Happy New Me.

another week under our belts

We both had a good week. I lost 1.4 lbs and Kim lost 2.4 lbs. So glad I am out of the 240's now and am heading for onederland. I bought my elliptical and have been using it as much as I can. Weekends I normally don't use it because I am at Kim's working out and get home pretty late. I am on vacation this week so I really plan on getting some good workouts in. Even plan on going ice skating one or maybe two days. We shall see how the first day goes since I haven't ice skated in about 10 years. I really have been very religious about entering my calories and workouts to my app on my phone. Really does help alot. Looking forward to another good week for the both of us. Will report back next week. NO EXCUSES.

good for me bad for Kim

I had a really good week. I lost 1.2 lbs but Kim found it and gained 1.2 lbs. Everyone has a bad week and that was hers. I have had plenty bad weeks but I am so determined to lose this weight I have been staying on track. I did have a piece of birthday cake and ice cream yesterday but I made sure I worked out too. Even though I am not feeling 100% because I have a bit of a cold and laryngitis going on I still have managed to get my workouts in. They are having a biggest loser challenge going on here in Arlington for 3 months starting Feb 27th and I would love to do it just not sure if I can because not sure what days and times yet. I did e-mail the guy who is doing it and am now waiting for a response. Can win $1000.Love to win that and get personal training in the process. We shall see. Until next posting, NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!

another week down

Well this week Kim and I stayed the same but that is ok since we didn't gain anything. It is so hard to lose this weight. Just need to stay on track. I just know when I get my elliptical I will be dropping lbs much faster. Hopefully I will be able to get it next week. This Sunday I will be doing my first mile walk with some of my co-workers. It will be a little difficult for me because my hips hurt when I walk on cement but I am very determined to get through it. My next walk will be a 5k. Need to get in better shape for that one. Glad Kim and I have changed up our workouts so it doesn't get boring. Well here's to another week into our journey. We will succeed.NO EXCUSES!
