Month 1 - Progress

Well, it's been a month. I haven't posted in a while, I warned you at the beginning that I wasn't much of a writer. But just because I haven't posted doesn't mean that I haven't been working. A steady workout routine and a diet that I've been pretty good about following has been my M.O. lately. I've not followed the diet all the time, but I just get back on it the next day/meal. In the past, I let a bad day throw me into the diet death spiral which I would never recover. This time, I get back on track and get myself re-motivated.

As for working out, I've changed up my routine from what I've done in the past. I've gone away from the weight lifting and done more cardio-based exercises. It has helped me with my energy, and with taking the pounds off. I started out with a couch-to-5k running program, but I had to put that on hold for a little bit and switch to the elliptical machine. I'm so afraid that I'll get a couple of months into this and get injured, and that will be the end of it. I don't think about it often, but it does cross my mind.

Anyways, now for the big reveal...

17.8 lbs in one month!!! YAY!!

A huge "Thank You" to everyone that has read this blog, sent messages of encouragement, and followed my diet and exercise on wee.myfitnesspal.com. I'm going to keep charging forward, and get that main goal of 180 x 40!

    Nice job Eric! It's all about changing your habits and lifestyle. Who cares if you screw up here or there as long as you stay on the course overall. It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there as long as you make progress each week and keep improving. Remember that your are only going to feel better, only going to get stronger, and only going to get healthier. Your kids should be proud of you!

    That is amazing progress! The elliptical is a great machine and so much better for your knees! Keep up the great work! A friend of mine at work joined weight watchers and he has loved it. It's helped him lose 35lbs. in 2 months. Just an idea. I look forward to your next status update!
