Happy Spring Time!

Sorry for the long delay, but work and school has filled the schedule book. Chloe and I have continued to eat smart (for the most part) since my last post. I am currently down about 8 pounds and Chloe is down 4, but I swear our clothes fit us much better than those numbers would let on. We are still taking things one meal at a time. Now that spring weather is here we hope to increase our activity. Unfortunately our work and school schedules will hinder that until early May. I'm sure we will be able to squeeze in at least 3 or 4 walks a week though until that time. Sorry to be so brief, but I am wore out and I know if I write any more than this it will just be my usual rambling, lol. Hope everyone is doing well and feel free to leave a comment to show support or if you need some encouragement yourself on your weight loss journey. Take care.

Just like Gene Autrey...

I'm back in the saddle again. Sure it took us weeks to get my head straight and bad food cravings under control, but at least it happened. This morning the desire to get healthy was off the charts. Memories of last year's weight loss and eventual self destruction came to my mind. Instead of looking at it as a failure, I am encouraged in knowing I/we can do it and that we know the right way to do it. My only negative I will post is my weight. I am at my highest weight ever, 413 pounds. But me and the kids, both Chloe and my son Austin are doing a healthy eating contest. Weight loss percentage will be a factor, but also how we eat and exercised will be big on who wins. Next week we will post our week 1 progress. Before that time comes though Chloe and I will aim at giving a update to keep us on course. Thats all I got for now. Take care friends and thanks for the comments and emails of support!
