OK, so perhaps I’m not quite anywhere near this bad, but it sure does feel like I am sometimes. I have just recently gotten motivated again and I’m headed head first toward my goal. Right now the scale (yes the new one that I bought which I posted about earlier) puts me at 196.7 pounds— YIKES, where is that extra weight coming from? The goal is to weigh 180-175 pounds in six months. I think that is an achievable goal.
Now, I’m not going to try and go gung ho like I did before and post every day on my process. That was just madness and it surely contributed to my stopping. I need to take a “BEFORE” pic so that we can see the difference in the BEFORE and AFTER. Had I thought about it ahead of time, I would have taken that picture 3 weeks ago when I got started (I’ve already lost three pounds and my stomach muscles are starting to get firm). Oh well, not to worry. We’ll work with what we have.
THE PLAN
I got a Wii Fit for my birthday in January and it was helping, but then I was not able to keep up with it on the schedule that I had settled into because I lost my late night access to the room in which the machine was located. Good excuse right? Actually yes, but a poor one to keep using! Now I have tried to adjust my exercise time to an earlier time so that I still get it in. I am working on 5 times a week for the full routine with Wednesdays and Sundays (church days) off because it is so hard to try and fit the time in; and the body can use the break anyway. A co-worker (Sanjeev) and I are walking the circuit around Crystal City at lunch time as well as walking up the steps to the 6th floor twice a day; instead of taking the elevator. My Wii Fit routine is only 24 minutes right now (I just increased it a bit) but I plan to add exercises (staying manageable) to get more time in there. My target routine will be about an hour (or just slightly less).
I now have to work on the late night snacks at home (as usual I’ll have my one or two “BAD” nights but they will be planned and expected) and drinking more water both at work and at home. THAT’s the part that really made a difference the last time around. Limiting myself to one soda a week at work an one soda a week at home made a big difference.
So, all of that having been said, check back regularly (at least once a week) for updates. I WILL make it this time. Perhaps I’ll post on what gets me really discouraged next time. 
But for now… it’s time for one of those walks around Crystal City. Ready Sanjeev?
