I’m really trying to get serious about my health.  I just can’t keep going down the road I’ve been on with my weight and especially my cholesterol.  If I don’t make proper diet and exercise a priority, I’m pretty sure there are going to be some bad consequences.  I’ve come under conviction that this is a spiritual issue for me.  I’m not being a good steward of what God has given me.

So, for accountability sake, I’m making it public.  You might be thinking “TMI” but I’m going to post my weight every Monday morning.  If you see it going down, then give me an “attaboy.”  If you see it plateau or go up, then give me a good verbal kick in the backside.  I said verbal remember. 

I’m going to pretend that I’m on sort of a Facebook and Twitter “Biggest Loser.”  I’ll take any motivation I can get.

So, here goes.  This week the scales screamed 238.5.

I’m a big-boned guy who is just under 5′ 11″.  My goal is to be at 200 pounds by the end of the summer when the baby is due.  That’s just under 2 pounds a week.  Hopefully, it’s not too quick that I gain it all back and not too slow that I get discouraged.

By the way, my basic plan is to workout an hour a day during the week and occassionally on the weekend.  And also, to simply eat less, especially watching my fat intake to help lower my cholesterol.

Okay, this was a bit of a personal post but again, I figured that if I expose my unealthy and even sinful eating and exercise habits, I’ll be more apt to keep working at making good choices and changes.

Thanks for reading!

Later…
