Day 21: Down, but not out!
I wish I could write a victorious post today, but I can't. I gained 3 lbs back, so my weight is now 328.4 lbs. I'm bummed, but only for the moment. This is a process, and it's not going to be easy. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was my belly. I can point to specific problems with how I have eaten, drank, and exercised this week which lead to the weight gain.
Some specific changes I will implement this week:
1. Changing home exercise time to early morning instead of late evening - I've read that this maximizes my calorie and fat burning potential.
2. Calorie Counting - I haven't tried this ever, but I'm going to give it a go. I will need to establish a daily calorie intake and follow it.
3. The Gym - It was inevitable. I knew the time would come, but I have dreaded it. I will go to the YMCA and begin a workout regimen. More details to follow.
This is not the time to give up and give in. It's time to regroup and refocus. You might be thinking, 'His scale is probably inaccurate.' Not so. Tonight, I stepped upon the same scale, in the exact same place, dressed only in my boxers. The scale is nice and new, and I have no reason to doubt its accuracy. No, it is not the time to make excuses. Now I get up, dust myself off, and move on towards health. Next Wednesday will mark nearly a month since I began, and I am expecting to report another small victory 168 hours from now. Over and out. :)

If over eating is a problem, might I suggest a crazy idea?
Buy 3 meals/day worth of those banquet frozen ( 1$ at wal-mart) dinners. The food groups are basically there. And they are like 3-400 calories a pop. Then buy free foods like fruits to eat. Already you're down to like a 1,200 calorie a day diet (minus the fruits).
But that's if you're not picky about what you eat like me.
@ReformedPatriot - I've never eaten those, but it may be a good idea for easily counting calories. I might give it a try. And I'm already a fruit guy. Thanks for the advice!
@ReformedPatriot - I was just talking with my wife, and I think the 'Banquet' meal idea is a good idea for when I'm at work. It seems I'm always around a lot of food when I'm on the job, and the small 300-400 calorie meal for lunch would be perfect, along with some fruit or vegetable that I dig. I just signed up at a http://www.thedailyplate.com, and it actually counts the calories for you as you type in what you ate. It even calculates your activities throughout the day (calories burned). Nice!
you can do it!
@BandoHobbit - Thanks! I'm trying.
