A New “Starting” Point

I now weigh 233 lbs.  That’s about 3 pounds more than I weighed a few months ago, but 14 pounds less than I weighed on January 1st.

I was at church camp last week and I had the opportunity to focus on my emotional, spiritual, and physical health.  I feel SO much better than I did last week and I’m ready to get back to the gym.  I feel like I did back in January, so I’m pumped about losing weight and getting into shape.  I’m headed to the gym.

One quick thing.  Eating every 2 to 3 hours has REALLY helped to reduce my cravings for junk food and fast food.


I Had A Great Week

I’ve just returned home from a week at church camp.  I spent a week as camp-director.  The work was exhausting but I managed to focus on my diet and I even managed to get a bit of exercise.  (By the way, I always misspell the word “exercise”… shouldn’t it have a “z”?)  I’ll have an official weigh-in Monday morning, but before I left, my weight had ballooned back to 239.5 lbs!?!  Yuck!  It felt great to be eating fresh fruit, granola, and nuts.  In fact, the only meat that I’ve eaten in the past seven days was a little turkey on a couple of small sandwiches.  I could easily become a vegetarian.  I’ll weigh-in tomorrow and let you know where I stand.
