The Weight (Redux)

I started this blog once before and kept up with it pretty well. Then I stopped. Now I'm starting again.

In the summer of 2006 (I think), I was involved in a regular exercise program at my son's tae kwon do gym. The program was called Lean & Fit, and during the time I was involved with it, my weight dropped from the upper 240s down to around 230. Since the program was cancelled around Christmas that year, I've "blossomed" into the upper 250s. I'm not sure if I broke 260, but I probably did sometime between stepping on the scale. About 10 days ago, I weighed 258.6; this morning I weighed 254.8.

My goal is still 222.

Recently my wife said I should begin writing down what I eat so that I can see how it looks. I didn't tell her that I tried this before. Instead, I decided I'd just try it again. I don't intend to weigh every morning, but I do hope to exercise most every day and honestly record everything I eat.

So here goes!

Workout: yoga; morning at home (to be described later)

Weight: 254.8

Breakfast: a large bowl of Cocoa Peanut Butter Spheres
Lunch: Lean Cuisine Panini: Southwest-style Chicken
Afternoon snack: Grapple (looks like an apple, tastes like a grape . . . sort of)
Supper: footlong oven-roasted chicken sub on wheat (tomato, onions, black olives, jalapenos, one stripe of lite mayo, seasonings)

This evening a little before midnight marks the 7th anniversary of my quitting smoking!
