The Diet Begins - Again

That skinny kid starting out above was even bigger than I was at that age. The diet starts again today. I've got to get down to fighting weight for the coming school year or it will be more physically taxing than normal. Last nights weight in was 260 lbs. At my height that overweight. My goal is to get down to 210 to 200 and according to the AMA I'm still overweight at that point.

I don't know why this is so hard but my struggle is along with most of America now it seems. So here I am trying again to do this. Think I'll go with the low carb route with lots of active exercise. Walking and swimming and a rowing machine to boot. No excuses. I've got six weeks to get a good start before school starts and now is the time. If I don't start doing something soon I'm going to start to look like Orson Wells at the end. Thank God I'm not there yet. But I want to live a long time to watch my 3 1/2 year old grow and be the person she wants to be. I think I'll put up a little tracking module in the side bar to help motivate me. Anyway, today starts...now where is that orange to start off the morning....
