Dear family and friends,
We've starting this blog to try again to lose weight and get in better shape. Over a year ago I lost a lot of weight and somehow found it all again. From past experience, it seems to work well to have people working together and encouraging one another. Weekly reporting of weight loss results and maybe a brief comment on how the week went for you or a call out for moral support can really make a difference. Being accountable to others as well as yourself reinforces your commitment and seems to make your sacrifices easier. I started the year with a fervent commitment on Jan. l to dig in and lose both weight and increase exercise. By the 20th, I had lost about 4 lbs. but it was clear my commitment was at best lukewarm.
So I'm making a commitment starting Monday to renew that resolve and will report on the blog each Monday as to my weight loss results and exercise achievement, and maybe make a comment or two. Please check in every Monday even if you have no weight loss to report.
Craig is my hero and inspiration right now, as over the last six months or so he's lost a considerable amount of weight and looks terrific. I got nearly to that place a year ago and hope to make another shot at joining him.
Looking forward to your joining me in this endeavor and hearing from you on the blog.
Gary

ReplyDeleteWell here we are again. I lost 46 pounds the last time, gained back 25 but now starting again and have lost 5 pounds. so off to a good start but would have been better if I did not have to lose 25 I had already lost. Oh well I guess I can't blame anyone but myself. After Mom's death I sort of stopped taking care as to what I was eating, one is a hard number too cook for so I took short cuts and ate whenever. I am trying to stop that and have regular good meals. Hope everyone is fine and doing well,
ReplyDeletetalk to you all next Monday.
