New Diet

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've started a new diet.  I'm doing that Special K thing where you eat the cereal for 2 meals per day and eat a normal 3rd meal.  I know it isn't the best (think grapefruit diet or cabbage soup diet ); however, I needed a kickstart and this seemed to be it.

Here are a few links I found about the diet:

Weight — 14 Jan – 20 Jan

Here's some stats on my weight:

1 – 6 Jan = 248lbs (single measurement)
7 – 13 Jan = 241.75lbs (avg over 4 measurements)
14 – 20 Jan = 240.8lbs (avg over 5 measurements)

So, the trend is down.  My goal is 220lbs by June 1.

Weight — 15 Jan 2007

I currently weigh 243.  In the next 4 months, I need to drop 20-25 lbs.  This is safe (it works out to a tad over 1 lb per week).  As an incentive to me, I plan to post my weekly average weights here.

Thanks for listening.

Feeling Better

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am feeling better.  My throat isn't sore any more, but my nose is still stuffy and green when I blow.  I took today off from riding, and I'm taking tomorrow off too.
