Ok, so when I signed up for Colin’s weight loss group, I didn’t know people would actually CHECK!!! Colin busted me yesterday for eating ice cream on day one. LOL. I deserved it.

So today I kept to it, ate healthy all day, AND walked 2 miles this evening. If I was really ambitious I would wake up at 4:30am every day and walk a couple miles before work. Im trying to wake up earlier a bit every day just to ATTEMPT to get up earlier… but 4:30?? nah. 5 or 5:30 mebbe.

I went and bought some more Michelinas Lean Gourmet things tonight at Cub Foods. 10 for $10. Woot. I also bought lettuce, low-fat western dressing and hutns fruit cups. I was going to surprise Tony, but now he’ll know what I’m bringing for lunch tomorrow.

I updated my fitday profile today, it temporarily went up for some reason (pizza mebbe) but by Grapthar’s Hammer, I will try to lose the 2 and some odd pounds a week until September’s renaissance faire opening.

As for a tan, maybe I’ll have to convince people I know with kids to go to Whitewater University this summer after the play is done…

OK, I made a Fitday “graphic widget thing” and placed it on the Nav so I can see it better. Feel free to use it on your site, it’s nothing fancy.

I have also, I hope, re-activated the cron job so I can autopost again. (yay) I guess we’ll find out in about 10 minutes if it works.

I received a comment yesterday in regards to my FitDay journal. The comment by Victoria was concerned over the low calorie count I was reporting. Well, there’s an explanation, I haven’t been very good in filling OUT the journal.

For instance, yesterday started ok. The slimfast bar for breakfast, Lean Cuisine for lunch and then Subway Club for dinner. Not bad. Then… half a dozen freshly baked cookies. AIGH! Why did I buiy them? And then a regular Coke. Aiiiiiigh pure sugar and 200 something calories.

So, I am officially going to start on June 1st. And everything WILL be reported… good and bad. I had to reset the starting weight this morning (must have been that cheese pizza I had on Sunday) and so now I need to lose 2.68 lbs a week to be at 190 by 9/1/06 – the opening of the renaissance faire.

May the Great Maker help me.

Today I joined the ranks of the few, the proud, the weight-loss challenge over at Colin Devroe’s site. I am NOT brave enough to do pics like he did, but we’ll see how far the motivation goes.

Of course I just had an ice cream sundae after lunch. D’oh!

With almost 3 months to go until my portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham, it is time to get serious about losing a few extra poundages. Last September I managed to lose quite a bit by just walking every night, so I know in three months, I should be able to achieve my goal of under 200 by September 1.

So here it is, the return of my fitday.com link

If you haven’t tried fitday.com – it’s free, and super easy. You don’t have to make your profile public, I just chose to. So as you can see, currently according to my new scale, im at 224.3. So that leaves about 24 lbs in 3 months, which is 8 lbs a month which is a little less than 2 lbs a week. Definitely should be able to accomplish that!

I have already stocked the freezer full of fronzen dinners so I wont order pizza or go out to the chinese buffet. The exercise ball thing has started to actually be used, and I am taking a little bit of Chromium PIcolinate and DHEA to see if it helps. I don’t want to be the “fat sheriff” in the same way Sean Astin was the “fat hobbit.”

Anyway…. as Kosh would say.

And so it begins.
