A Great Start [The Diet]

I thought I would post a little update regarding my weight loss goal. As you know I have taken the steps needed to drop some weight and get healthy. We started with our eating habits and took out a lot of fast food (including my 4th Meals at Taco Bell). We cut my daily 5 Pepsi’s along with whatever other unhealthy food I could eat. This has been going on for about 2 months now. Then just over 2 weeks ago we joined a gym for me to actually get serious and drop some weight. Going to the gym has been great for me and I already feel more active during the day then I ever did before. I have enjoyed going in the mornings and doing some cardio and weights. Another plus is I’m finally staying caught up on the podcasts that I follow. I have noticed several things including feeling great during the day after the workout and that is I had to move my belt up a notch 3 days ago. This isn’t a big thing for some but I have tried diets before and was even a member of a gym before (long time ago) and didn’t stick with it this long nor take it this serious. So, this has been a huge step forward for me which I am loving. I’ve gotten nothing but support from family and of course those who follow me here and on twitter. The support from everybody has been a huge plus in sticking with it but I gotta say that I love the way I feel after a good workout in the morning even when I’m a little sore at times. So, to recap The Diet is going great as I’m not only dropping the weight (what little I have for now), I feel great at the same time, keeping up with eating healthy, and love the support from others. So, thank you to everybody who offered support and have asked me on twitter how it’s going, it means a lot.
On a site note; you should be prepared for a new design very soon. I’ve only been working on it for several months now and after trashing 4-5 versions I finally have one that will see light. Its a minimal design which will be great. Not sure when it will be ready but I hope sometime in April. Plan to start doing some more video blogs then as well. Just a warning.

Congrats on sticking with it. That is one of the biggest advantages of getting healthy - the way you feel. I can totally relate to all the things you are saying about energy levels and feeling better. Just wait until you start making new holes in that belt because its too big!

Good job! I guess having more energy must be a motivation in itself. Ooh, you should get a dog; good way to keep fit as you’re constantly out walking. Plus, y’know, they’re cute ^_^

Thanks Ash. It is motivation itself. Dogs are great and yours is cute but don’t think I’m going to get one soon.

Good job on sticking with it, I love the soreness of weight lifting even though we do it with different goals in mind.
I guess you’ll never look back

Yeah, the soreness is great because I know what it means, but gotta get use to it. Its working though.
