309.0

The Battle of Little Big Chuy
As of this morning, I weigh 309.0lbs -- meaning I lost 4.6 pounds this last week.

Let that sink in, I know I did.

Now, I understand that is a lot of weight to lose in one week -- around a half a pound a day.  Consider though the following things:

• I have been eating right and working out, consistently, for the first time in my life, really.
• I know from previous experience when to stop, when I am working out.  I'm not trying to be a hero, or hurt myself.
• Its always easy to lose weight when you beginning a work out plan, especially if you are over weight to begin with.  This is probably water weight, and not much fat, that I am dropping.
• It will get harder and not every week will yield such results. 

The most important thing to me is that I feel fucking great.  Let me say that once more, on its own line, in all caps, and bold, with three exclamation points, so you know how great I feel:

I FEEL FUCKING GREAT!!!

Seriously, though, regardless of how much weight I lost this week, or will lose week to week, in the weeks to come, (say that three times fast), I feel great.

My body feels strong.  My lungs don't try to break out of my body climbing stairs.  My sleep is the sleep of people that sleep really fucking well.  I am not as tired at work.  My work outs are yielding real results that I can measure and feel in way that a scale can't show. 

All of that said:

Time to move on.  I can't get complacent. 4.6 lbs lost this week means fuck all if I don't keep it up.  The goal is to lose 70, remember, we still have 65.4 lbs to go.  

We will enjoy today for what it was, winning the battle of week one.  That is cool and all, winning battles.

I want to win the War.

Who is Whitney

Whitney is a friend from high school that is a personal trainer in Virgina these days.  She was one of the people that I started talking to about this project of mine, before it started.  It was Whitney that first suggested I keep a blog about the process.  That was a great idea and a key reason I am doing what I am doing.

Thank you so much, Whitney. Fo'reals.
