The Summer Slim Down Chronicles, Part XXV.

So, I am pretty sure that I actually did NOT gain 3.5 pounds last week, and that it was more of a thing of measuring myself at the wrong time.  So now I have set my measure time at 4 PM on Sundays.  I figured this out by stepping on the scale today at 4 [...]

The Summer Slim Down Chronicles, Part XXIII and XXIV.

Well, it has been an up and down couple of days. First, I stepped on the scale and realized that I have gained three pounds.  I am heartily disappointed, as I had made such great progress the week before.  But alas, I must work harder. This weekend I walked a total of 10 miles.  It [...]

The hardest part is saying goodbye….

As I have stated previously on this blog, I am beginning a diet-workout regimen on Monday, May 3rd.  This is something that I am extremely committed to.  If anyone knows anything about me, they know this: once my mind is set to something, it is guaranteed that I will do it, no matter how painful [...]

Thanks to all of you!

Thank you all for the encouragement that I either got on Facebook or through this blog.  It has meant a lot to me. I will be chronicling my journey from fat guy to healthy guy on this blog from here on out.  This now has to happen. Again, thanks to all of you, and I [...]

A new beginning, considered.

For a lifetime, I have struggled with my health. I have had asthma since I was very little, and it kept me from doing a lot of things that I wanted to do growing up. In recent years, I have also struggled with my weight.
