THE FINISH LINE

It has been about two months since my last blog entry, and I will be the first to admit I have failed in the department of giving out updates. No excuses necessary, but I do bring exciting news.

For the past couple of months, trying to figure out what to write about has been a tough task. I have been talking to my editor, Sam, about how I keep running into the same struggles, and writing them would just be boring to most of the readers of this blog. I needed to find a different way to utilize my blog, and after talking with Sam, I feel that I have a good idea.

Starting June 23, I will be posting a picture of everything I eat or drink. If it is a glass of water, a handful of nuts or a cheeseburger; I will put it on my blog. I will then take all the food I have eaten for that day and calculate how many calories, grams of fat, carbs and protein I accumulated throughout the day. I will put my starting and ending weight each week, and post my weight for the final month. If I get any questions or comments, I will also try to post a response each day.

Doing this may not interest many people, but to me, it’s a great way to keep myself in check, and to give people who have been wondering what I eat to lose weight a better picture of my day-to-day habits. The idea also keeps me in better check of what I put in my body. For the past two months, I have lost a total of 8 pounds, and a main cause of that is due to my diet. I have eaten so much worse than I was in the previous months that I really have struggled to even keep off those 8 pounds I lost since April. With the last month approaching I need to re-dedicate myself to losing as much weight as possible when I have the help of all these wonderful trainers at Workshop Fitness.
