So here goes my attempt at chronicling the long lumpy road to improving my health. There's no question that step one is going to be losing weight. I mentioned I was going to start this last week - then I went to the beach and sat on the couch and watched basketball all weekend. Kind of derailed my plan. Damn you March Madness!
I'm employing a very obvious two-pronged attack to lose weight: Eat healthier and exercise more. I don't want to bore you the reader (or myself) by writing down everything I eat and every time I work out. I think instead I'm going to just write at the end of every blog my weight, and then a quick "Good, Bad and Ugly" recap of the day's health related news. Here's the first one:
Weight per Wii: 249 lbs.
The Good: Attempted to go for a jog last night
The Bad: About a quarter mile into the jog, Jonah saw an overturned construction cone and freaked out. He feels a civic duty to put these things in their proper place. He demanded to be let out of his stroller to save the neighborhood from a sprained ankle, then refused to get back into the stroller, instead yelling "shoulders" at me until I put him up on my shoulders so he could touch the tree branches. Had to turn around and head back.
The Ugly: Destroyed the remains of a Costco bag of Ruffles bought for the beach trip while watching "The Blind Side." Not a good start.
Good luck Andy.
ReplyDeleteTip #1, if it's not in the house you won't be as tempted to eat it.
Tip #2, if you have to buy in bulk transfer the amount you really want into a bowl and put the bag away.
