On Target

Welcome to the March 20th blog post!  I am pleased to report that I am on target for my goal of being at or below 330 pounds by the end of March.  I have lost one pound since March 15th.  I currently weigh 333 pounds.

I keep checking my weight between weigh ins and this may be a mistake.  The reason I say this is because it can be depressing.  At one point between the last weigh in and now I had actually gained a couple of pounds.  I believe that there were a couple of reasons for this.

The first reason is related to my diet.  I had pizza on Sunday and then left overs again on Monday.  I also had a couple of soda's between now and the previous weigh in.  I don't think I am ready to do the vegetarian diet that I had mentioned in a previous blog post.  To keep myself accountable though I have decided to start counting calories and I will be posting those daily numbers on the blog.  This will begin on March 21st.

The second reason is I have been exercising much more consistently.  It always seems to be the case that when I first start to exercise I gain weight right away.  I am not sure if this is due to the body holding onto more water or some other reason but it always seems to happen to me.  To improve consistency with exercising I will also be logging my calories burned in the daily calorie post mentioned above.

My next weigh in will take place on March 25th.  I need to lose another pound to stay on target with my goal of weighing in at or below 330 pounds by the end of March.  I am optimistic that with these daily calorie posts I will be able to reach my goal.  The exercise has me feeling great as well.  I am excited to see where this takes me.  Time will tell.  To help me stay accountable please feel free to check in often as I will do my best to update the calorie counts multiple times throughout the day.  Thanks for sharing this journey with me!
