End of week #1

Well well well.

Even though I didn't tackle the week as hard as I'd like to, I'm rather enthused about the end results.  I managed to lose 3 pounds this week, and I think that is from starting to work out (just treadmill for now) and increasing the amount of water I'm drinking.  If I can continue this next week with the deletion of sodas from my diet, I'm going to feel even better!

I've decided to use Sunday nights as my "recap" night on the blog, but will also be posting with other important tips and happenings throughout the week.

Next to tackle as the weight loss continues:  I've not gotten my singing voice back since being sick a month ago.  It's like a constant source of - pardon me - phlegm is at the back of my throat and when I start singing or trying to sing, all I get is a screech.  I'm terrified of a bigger problem, like polyps on my vocal cords or something.  I'm going to try allergy medicine to see if that helps because I do feel that my sinuses are a bit inflamed and that could have something to do with it to.  But if that doesn't clear it up, off to the doctor I go.   Man, I'm tired of doctor's appointments.  I would be in the last 3 years I've been to at least 150 doctor appointments, in between the counselor, psychiatrist, and my regular doctor.  I never thought I'd be "one of those guys".  Oh well, it is what it is.  I'm thankful I have such great doctors - they've literally saved my life.

Ok folks - go have a good week!

Positive vibes to start it all off!

SO!

The KP One Year Project is officially underway and I'm proud to state that I started the workout regiment one day early - and have already seen a loss of 3 pounds this week.  THAT is without trying to control my carb intake and that is something I plan on doing, eating healthier, etc.  So I'm somewhat motivated by this very quick result acknowledging that by just DOING this - exercising, being active - will increase my metabolism and help get this weight off of me.  I had set up a year as being my goal for 70 pounds - but if I can take off 2 pounds a week, which is considered healthy and good to do - I can do my 70 pounds in about 8 months.  That would have me at my target weight by May/June of 2011, just in time to enjoy the summer like I'd like to.

On another note I got realllllllly frustrated at work tonight - 4 hours and I made a measly freakin' $21.  I've decided that I'm done with working for dimes and it served as just another reminder that yes, it's time to do something wonderful with my life.  Where that direction is going to take me, I'm not sure, but I need to rely on my talents to propel me and not "settle" for what I'm doing right now.  There are changes that would have to take place on a larger scale but I do definitely feel that I'm destined for more than I've been led to at this point.  And that in itself, is a good feeling.  I guess we all have to muddle through the bullshit to get there, though.
