OK. If you read my Weight Loss Challenge page you will see that I am trying to lose 30 pounds by April 1.

I have done well so far over the Christmas holiday I lost a few pounds. This week has been good so far, except last night when I ate cake : ( Oh well! If am going to stick to a healthy lifestyle I will have to deal with eating badly occasionally.

So yesterday AND today I went to the gym. I only used the treadmill, but that is a start. Yesterday I did 1.7 miles in 30 minutes. Today I pulled off 2.6 miles in 30 minutes.

I am making progress and remember that you can do it too!

Everyone loves the Holidays! We all over indulge in food of all sorts! For us family meals are huge breakfasts! Eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, fresh homemade tortillas, hot sauce and sometimes more! We spent a week with family eating, laughing, drinking and having a great time.

I hunted birds with my sons. Rode the four-wheeler and enjoyed. We took a ton of pictures!  I loaded the camera memory card into my laptop and eagerly take a look.

The kids are so cute! They had a great time and then I ran into this picture of myself from behind.  Ouch! I knew I had a belly. I knew I had love handles, but seeing this picture I realized that I was very overweight and that it was time to get it under control.

Today I started a health eating program for myself and the family.  I will still once per week cook something new and inevitably fattening, but for the most part I am going to load the family up with a healthy diet.

The sad part is that I know how to eat. I have an account at My Calorie Counter where I will track my food intake.

Tomorrow I will weigh in and measure my fat!

I am out!
