After a month of “drifting along”, I am now mentally focused and prepared to move forward.  I was sick for the better part of three weeks and was unable to get much (if any) real exercise.  Now, I’m back, baby!  I started my day with plenty of water, some hardy oatmeal, and a nice turkey sandwich.  I’ll be going to the gym around 3PM and I am (get ready…) excited!  My weight sits at 230, right where I left it three weeks ago.  Hopefully, the “shock” of exercise will cause my body to “release” a few extra pounds.  Clearly, January was a great month.  I hope to “recapture” the magic and start to lose weight again.
