Week #1: Step One

11/04/2007

Today is the day. We're back at it.

It sucked to see 201.5 on the scale. It sucked to see that I need to lose 22 pounds to get back to where I was. It sucks to know that, in a few moments I'll be going for a walk when I really want to go for a run.

But . . .

At least I'm starting on the journey again.

I know it will probably take 11 weeks to lose those 22 pounds again, assuming I lose two pounds per week. I know it will probably take at least 4-6 weeks before I'll be ready to attempt to jog again.

But . . .

I will lose those 22 pounds again. And I will run again.

It's hard to not be discouraged. But, it's harder to get up off the couch and do something about it.

I choose to do something about it.
