I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I needed to check in.
I'm not sure who I am checking with since this is not one of those nationally acclaimed blogs. But the writing is therapeutic, so I will write.
I started out several months ago typing about trying to loose weight and lead a little healthier lifestyle. I am pleased to report that I have lost 28 pounds since Dec. 26, 2009 and I am down about 2.5 inches in my waist.
Before you ask, I will tell you how - Counting my calories and exercise. If you ask my bride she will tell you that I have become a little obsessive about working out. I started working out in December doing P90X 3 days a week and eating around 1800 calories a day. In March I started doing Crossfit 5 days a week and upped my calories to around 2000 a day. It has been difficult and a challenge. But now I really enjoy working out and having my hind parts kicked! In fact, I enjoy it so much I look forward to what the next WOD (Workout Of the Day) will be on most days.
Little things are different. My friends at work have noticed that I have a neck. My bride told me the other day that she never imagined that she was a "muscle" girl until I started having them. All in all, I feel better about life and myself.
So grab your kettle bells and get to work!
