Hello everyone.  I am starting this blog/journal in order to assist myself in finishing a weight loss campaign that I started last year.   I started last year on 1/1 and lost over 100 lbs. by the 5/1.  Things were going great.  I was feeling great.  Eating the right foods and exercising rigorously every day.  Then it happened.  Had a heart attack and I will save the details about that for another day but I just kind of cruised the rest of the year.  Not a good idea.  So I am back at it again.  I am guessing I weigh about 335 right now.  When I started a year ago I was over 400!  So here I go and I am looking forward to making new friends as I go down this path again.  My goal is to obtain that personal freedom that comes with living in a body that is not overweight. 

Just for the record - today I attended a Reebok cycle class and rode for about 45 minutes and then worked out on a eliptical machine for another 35.  I am estimating that I burned over 1000 calories this morning.  For breakfast I had a small serving of Oatmeal.  A salad for lunch.  I had a handful of nuts for a snack a little bit ago.  Dinner tonight will be lean roast beef and a veggie.  My dessert at night is 2 glasses of milk. 

I plan on posting my actual weight as soon as I get the data and hopefully will see the number drop steadily over time.  Y’all have a great day.
