Losing Weight

My Goal

My goal is simple: lose weight! Well, more like lose body fat. Believe it or not, I used to be skinny. People told me I need to eat more, etc. I guess a combination of having kids and going from physical jobs to my desk career has caused me to gain a lot more weight than I wanted. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not obese, but if I don’t actively do something about it, then I will be.

So What Am I Doing About It?

Well for starters, I’ve created this blog to post my business to the world to keep me straight. I feel like if I post about my progress, (or lack thereof), I’m more likely to stay motivated. Secondly, I’ve created this weight tracker! under my ‘Losing Weight’ goal page. I’ll update this every so often to keep track of how I’ve progressed. I have a strict rule, however, that I will not weigh myself but at most once per week. I won’t let the tiny fluctuations in my weight fool me.

Also, I am running. I’m not that good yet, but hopefully I’ll see results. Right now, I can only handle running about 10 minutes, then I need a 5 minute rest before running another 10 minutes. Afterward I have a 5 minute cool down. I do this every Mon, Wed, and Fri. I’m being guided by my smart watch. My hope is that once my heart improves, I can handle longer runs and then lose weight.
