I’ll be frank that I’m not quite sure where I’m going with the blog, but one theme you’ll get is that weight loss/working out is something that is a new part of my life.

When I originally started (this time) I weighed 304.8 lbs. From April to December of 2016, I half-assed my workouts and eating, and started January 1st of 2017 at 293 lbs.

Since then, I’m down to 220 lbs. But my original goal has always been 200 lbs.

Along the way I’ve had different motivating factors; birth of my daughter, trip to Greece/Italy, friendly bets.

But now with the finish line in sight, I need more motivation.

I figured a good way to do that was document what/why/how I’m working down to 200 and share that.

In the interest of full disclosure, this last Friday morning I was at 219 lbs. Then certain stressors and poor decisions this weekend bumped me up to 226 lbs.

As of this morning, back down to 223, and I know that with a couple days of workouts and smart eating I’ll get back to 219/220. My goal is that to happen before the weekend.

So enjoy the ride!
