Intro

Tonight I signed up for and canceled an account with Women's Health personal trainer online. It was too complicated. I just need SOMETHING to follow. I quit a lot of things because I can, so I thought if I have a schedule that could slap me in the face every morning with the workout I'm supposed to do, I might actually do it. I am a visual person and need to see my progress or at least my continued effort.

It is day 36 since my daughter was born and she is still in the hospital. I am scheduled to go back to work in 3 weeks. I do not like the number of days disappearing but really feel responsible for returning to work. This makes me sigh and stare deeply at nothing important.

So I want to track my workouts and weight to see if it will help me reach my goal. I'm going all out in the open here.

I'm 5'8" and 240lbs. My BMI says I'm morbidly obese. I still can't see how I let my body get this fat. Hell, I can't SEE me being this fat. But the pants don't lie when they won't even zip up over the fupa I've developed. Since my baby girl was born, I've lost 25lbs and it felt great but now I've realized that it was all fluid. (I flooded the delivery room when my water broke)

My IDEAL weight: 160lbs.

My goal weight: 180lbs.

I figure if I can lose 60lbs, I'll be pretty fucking happy. I'd probably even be up for marathon training, and that's how I'll eventually get down to my ideal weight.

SO here it is. Starting tonight. My fitness tracking blog.
