I figured that I may as well do a weekly recap and grade myself on how I feel I did the previous week. This isn't the place for me to chastise myself, but to hold myself accountable and realize that I won't always be perfect, but I'll always be trying. Exercise: A- I exercised all … Continue reading Project 7×52 – Week 1: Recap
Week 1 – Day 7: The Costco Shuffle
So it was Sunday which is my official rest day (technically I rested on Wednesday also but that was because of the migraine), but that doesn't mean it was a do-nothing-day. I did go to Costco and walk around the store before purchasing the items I need, but I didn't actually take advantage of the … Continue reading Week 1 – Day 7: The Costco Shuffle
Week 1 – Day 6: Free Day
I prefer to call them free days. Cheat days makes it sound like you are doing something you shouldn't be doing. And if I have learned anything from all of the "dieting" I have done, there is nothing wrong with eating foods that you enjoy. So today is my designated free day. But I decided … Continue reading Week 1 – Day 6: Free Day
Week 1 – Day 5: Boredom Eating
Boredom eating is something I have struggled with for as long as I can remember. I don't know if there is an official term for it, but that works.

And I'm proud of how well I did on my first day of the four day weekend. First of all, I slept great. Sleep is so important and … Continue reading Week 1 – Day 4: Independence Day
Week 1 – Day 2: Alternating Rock
So I figured I'd lay down some tips as I go about this little journey. I know that probably 99.9% of my friends hate running. I can understand why. It takes a special kind of creature to actually enjoy running. I - myself - can't get enough of it. Even at over 300 pounds, I … Continue reading Week 1 – Day 2: Alternating Rock
Week 1 – Day 1: 318
Ugh... man, what a difference a few months can make. I knew I had let myself go, but I think it is always eye-opening when you finally realize exactly how much. 318 pounds. That is what I weighed this morning before I headed to the gym. That is 53 pounds difference from March when I … Continue reading Week 1 – Day 1: 318
