The 31 day challenge

Well, today marks the beginning of the 31 day challenge. What is the 31 day challenge you may ask, well let me explain. I have a coworker who has also always struggled with his weight. A couple of years ago we both tried weight watchers with some success but have since back slid, guess we didn't change our way of life. Now we are starting again and to push each other we are making little bets for weight loss each month. Yesterday was the official weigh in for both of us with me hitting the scale at 275 and him topping out at 366. Should be an interesting month, but the challenge will keep me motivated and honest. Now back to my oatmeal.

this is the beginning

Well, this is what I hope is the beginning of what will be a successful journey. I've struggled with my weight all my life but I've never had a problem being a "big guy" before. For some reason over the course of the last several months I've been having really bad self body images and have finally decided to do something about it. I look at this as a journey, one that I will eventually complete to get back my life and my own respect. I need to learn self control and find the love of working out that I had at one time in my life. I can't let my job run me, I must learn to run it if I am going to make my goals. Today is the last day of my old life and tomorrow starts a new life. Wish me luck and join me along this journey if you wish. I need all the help I can get.
