Delay of Game 4

This is a first! I am posting two catch up blog posts in the same day. This blog update is for January 25th. My weight for that weigh in was 355.2 pounds. That was a loss of nearly a half pound (0.4) since the previous weigh in. My total weight loss through this date was 1.2 pounds.

Once again, not going to spend too much time writing about this blog post since I am still trying to catch up. I have been weighing in on time. I have just not always made the time to update the blog. Check back soon for more!

Delay of Game 3

If you have been following my blog then you probably already know that I am posting these older updates in order to try to bring the blog up to date. I weighed in on January 20th. My weight for that weigh in was 355.6 pounds. That was a gain of 1.8 pounds since the previous weigh in. My total weight loss through January 20th was only 0.8 of a pound.

I have not really been writing too much in these catch up blog posts but I will say that I did turn things around since the 20th. I will try to get another blog post up soon. Thanks for checking in and stay tuned for more!

Delay of Game 2

I am still really late in posting these weight loss updates. I did weigh in on January 15th. My weight for that weigh in was 353.8 pounds. That was a loss of one pound since the previous weigh in. Total weight loss through January 15th was 2.6 pounds.

I don't really have much to say since I am so late in posting this update. I will elaborate more on how I am doing in a future blog update. Until then, take care!

Delay of Game

The last two blog posts have been titled around a football theme but they are also relevant to the blog. This time, I am really late in posting this update. I weighed in on January 10th as I had mentioned that I would. My weight for that weigh in was 354.8 pounds. That was a loss of two pounds since the previous weigh in.

I am not going to write anything more since I am so late in posting this update. I will elaborate more on how I am doing in the next blog update. Until then, take care and check back soon!

False Start, Offense, Five Yard Penalty, Repeat First Down

I can't sleep. I woke up at 3:50 AM this morning. I have been feeling a little down lately. There are several reasons for that, but one of them has to do with not starting my weight loss journey when I said that I would. That is mostly because I don't like to say I am going to do something and then not follow through. The holiday season is a tough time to start a weight loss program. Still, if I cannot exhibit self control at that time, why should I think I can any other time? So, I take full responsibility for that. I apologize for the false start.

I will just cut to the chase here, I gained a little under a half pound since my last weight loss post on December 18th. My current weight is 356.8 pounds. That is a gain of 0.4 pounds.

I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, gaining under a half pound over the holiday break doesn't seem all that bad. On the other hand, I was somewhat active over the break, getting in some decent step counts on some of those days.

Either way, the journey starts in earnest today. I am confident that I can lose some of this weight relatively easily just by cutting out soda consumption. I have not been eating an inordinate amount of calories, I have been drinking them. Well, that is not 100% true. I don't want to give the impression that I have been eating well. There are times when I certainly consume too much food as well. I just mean that if I had to select the biggest reason for my weight, it would have to be soda.

Today I will be logging my calories and keeping track of my steps. I am excited to get back on track. I am tired of being overweight and yearn to get back to a more healthy lifestyle. Now comes the hard part. Losing weight is not easy, but it is time to get started. Thank you for following along. The next blog post will be January 10th. Goodbye for now.
