Getting Back to Work

Early last year, I was doing a great job at losing weight, watching what I ate and taking better care of myself. Then, I let things fall to the wayside: I put off going to the gym, I stopped keeping track of my foods, my weekend walks stopped altogether. And I gained a few pounds in the process.

Caesar and I both decided that once 2011 rolled around, we would start the exercise routines again. But I'm very good at procrastinating so my weekend walks didn't start until this morning. I spent an hour on the beach, walking through the fog along the bike path with other walkers , runners, cyclists and roller bladers. I'm worn out and hungry, but I hope to keep this up as the year progresses -- weather and health permitting.

At this moment, I weight 202 lbs. My goal weight: 185 lbs.

Greg, this sounds a lot like me lately. Ever since the frigid temperatures have rolled in (basically Thanksgiving forward), I've let my weight goal, exercise goal, and food tracking slide as well.

I've noticed a HUGE difference in my overall "performance" and have reverted back to a state of unhappy annoyance with myself. Back in October I had so much energy, and I'm envious of the "me" I was in that time period. I cannot wait to get back to it again. I miss that overall "feeling".

Congratulations on taking the first step back to your goals today and moving forward, I wish you all the luck in getting back on track.

Keep up the good work! I should do the same but I'm too busy typing this message to you. So see, you're to blame for me getting fatter.

Good luck. How do we help - nag, inquire, or let you alone?

I've found LoseIt.com a great website to help track what you eat and set goals. Best of luck!
