So, what have I done so far?

As I am already into my journey, I thought i'd give a quick review what I've done up till now.

My latest "attempt" started with the latest "Weight Loss Challenge" on Tagrel back in January. After YEARS of doing things the wrong way it took a few weeks to get things started in the right direction. Then, in first few week February, I bit the bullet and bought several pieces of equipment. The first items was a set of Nautilus/Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells. Let me just say that CostCo is my friend. I also got a Bowflex bench direct from Bowflex. Then we bought a Sole treadmill from Dick's Sporting Goods. Sole and Spirit treadmills are made on the same assembly line. Next, I went back to CostCo and got a Cybex recumbent bike. Then nothing new for a few weeks then a Powerline/Body Solid Cable Crossover Machine, again, from Dick's Sporting Goods. All of this is in a normal sized "extra" bedroom (approx. 11x11).

Even though the weight loss challenge started in the middle of Janurary, it wasn't until the second week of February that I really started in earnest. I have been the most focused and consistent with the dumbbells. I'm following a 6 week program (3 times a week) from the SelectTech user manual. I said I was consistent, not perfect!! I previously mentioned the C25K running program that I was "trying", but not being consistent at all. When I started the weight loss chanllenge I was 340.5 pounds. I am now down to 336. Not a lot, but I'm hoping that's mostly due to muscle weight gain. And believe me, I can tell I've gained some serious muscle.

So, that brings me up to the last couple of weeks. I have been pleased with what I've been eating lately. I done really well with my eating during the day. With dinners being infused with moments of weekness and stupidity.

I'll post weekly updates of my progress, both in terms of weight and how I'm doing with with my workouts.

Till next time....Take Care
