I have been working with a personal trainer since November 18, 2008. We usually work our from 4 am to 5 am.
And my new weight 357.3, I will be using the scale at my home from now on. And will verify with the one I originally used at maximum weight.
Make it a great day!

March Madness
Fitting tittle for two reasons, I know y'all are big basket ball fans. As you most of you know I got side tracked had two weeks of stellar performance. Than I slowly started to let work out slide and than eating habits followed. What I did well is I kept to all other commitments well. I will be adding two additional commitments, know my behavior:
First- I gave up an online game, found myself filling with online cards.
My new commitment is no CPU/TV gaming Unless I am vacation(Barb's or Jason's)
Second- When I get off track I will not tell this group everything is "unbelievable". That is especially exciting for Leila.
In addition I will be taking on a daytime job until, I am completely debt free or Financially it makes more sense to be back at PFS. This will be short term until I have my beleif in my ablilities restored and unwavering.
I did weigh yesterday loss of 2 lbs. total. Great news is I recognize the fact where I am, and not letting myself stop. I did find a clinic close enough to bike two and take both blood pressure and weight. I will do that Mondays or Tuesdays, depending on my schedule. And blog that night.
To all watch the "Secret".

2/12/07 405 lbs.
3/28/07 403 lbs.
Area's of Concern
Calves: My cellulitis has only affected my calves, especially left calf. Currently I am wearing knee high compression stalkings on both legs. More than 12 hours not in stalkings calves will swell. Doctor said my weight may have a factor, however over all they really said there is no reason for it.
Blood Pressure: My blood pressure has been borderline for the last year and they have had me on divan. Unlike my legs the doctor did say this was weight related.
Update on Me
As most of you know I have been unfocused the last week and a half. The good news I have realized this and have refocused. To the ladies I am giving you permission for hard coaching. Ask me directly where my head is. This week I will find a local encouragement/accountability group focused on weight. And I will do regular weight and blood pressure thinking bi weekly feed back on this would be welcome.
