Mike's progress

First day back on the right track

Let me start with the worst. My weight is 396.6, which is just 7 pounds less than when I started 10 months ago when I started. Basically, I have gained about 40 pounds in 5 months. Devastating. That word sums up how I felt seeing that number.

The good thing is I am back to good. Veggies, baked chicken and oatmeal rounded out my meals. I also have not had any diet soda (remember, I never drink regular pop). I can already feel the caffeine withdraw headache forming, but am fighting it off and sticking to water.

Gotta get to bed, but real quick I'll bring you up to speed. I am in school full time doing all online classes and also working full time (for now, but that is a different story). My mom just had a stroke two weeks ago, but is doing pretty well now. The last few months I got lazy, quit exercising, quit cooking and quit buying quality food. I know the error of my ways, so just have to jump back on the right path. More updates to come later, right now it's bed time.

I'm back

Too late in the night for a recap of what I have been up to the last 6 weeks, but it will be coming soon I promise. Tomorrow, Sept 13 I begin my healthy eating lifestyle change again with the help of a Biggest Loser contest on my team at work. Weight and updates to come tomorrow. I have never quit, I just stopped giving it my all. After several pounds gained, I am back to 100% commitment. I can't post daily with me working full time and being in school full time, but I will shoot for 2 - 3 times a week.
