My cholesterol level has come down 41 points! The bad news is that there’s still 9 more to go. We’re on the right track though. Well, sort of. . . I haven’t been very good this week. With my ministry situation (I will need to find another full-time position by January.) I must admit that…

36″
I wore a pair of shorts with a 36 waist yesterday!! I can remember exactly, but it’s probably been at least 10 years since I was in a 36. Right before we left for our vacation last week, I went to get some more shorts. The first 36s that I tried on fit great!! I…
Week 11
OK – After my last post, I got back down to 227.5lbs the very next day. Now it’s week 11 and I’m still the same weight. I must admit that I haven’t been as strict with my eating habits as I was in the beginning. I’ve also not been walking/running as much. Instead, Miranda and…
A Bump in the Road
I’m 9 Weeks into this whole weight loss/exercise/diet thing and I guess I hit a bump in the road. Last week I weighed 227.5lbs and this week I was back @ 230lbs. I don’t really think I gained 2.5 lbs. I think it has to do with when I weigh myself. I didn’t eat as…
A Quarter
Week 8 – Well, I guess I’m a quarter of the way now. Down to 227.5 lbs. I have lost 12.5 lbs of the 50 lbs that I need to lose – that’s a fourth of the way – 25%!! Since this is a lifestyle (and lifelong) change, and I’m only 9 weeks in, I…
Week 6
I haven’t done so well the past couple of weeks. With our camping trip last week, I had to eat whatever was on my plate. The same will be true next week on our Mission Trip. I have done pretty well with the whole exercise thing during the time that I’ve been home, and I…
Walking the Mosquitos
Kasen and I went for a walk this morning. Considering the swarm of mosquitos around us, you might say we took them for a walk. Anyway, Kasen loves it! He points out every car and especially loves the school buses. He also gets excited when he sees birds. It’s fun for me to listen to him…
20%
Well, I’ve lost 10 of what now has become a 50lb goal. That’s 20%!! Pretty good for just 4 weeks of effort. At this rate, (I know the rate will slow down) I will reach my goal by the beginning of October! Of course the real goal is health and that means I’ll never reach…
Off the Wagon
I didn’t do so well this week with this whole healthy eating/exercising thing. Not real bad – just not as well. We had a good friend come down this weekend and ended up taking her out to dinner at a place where we had only been one other time. It was a great meal, but…
Seven Pounds
Here’s another pic of what I’ve gotta lose. This burger is 60 lbs. So far, so good. This week I weighed in at 233! I lost 7 pounds in my first week with this new lifestyle of exercise and better eating. I also have an appointment to see my doctor this coming Thursday. I’m sure…
