Let's Start Again


Well it has been roughly one year since I had originally started this blog about my weight loss. In that time I have roughly stayed the same weight. I generally fluctuate between 135 and 145 pounds.

My goal for the blog is for me to use this as a record of what I am doing and what I am not doing so that I can track my progress (or lack thereof).

Exercise

As for exercise it is pretty much a brisk 20 minute walk to and from work (1 mile each way). I generally take this at a pretty good clip so that is pretty good on the exercise front. My problem is that I have had this job since June of last year and have not lost any weight. I have finally determined that yes I am burning more calories with the walking but my food intake has gone up quite a bit and so my weight has stayed the same.

Diet

The only things at this time that I am changing is my food choices and the amount of food that I eat at any one time. Instead of stopping on the way home & getting a candy bar and bag of chips for the train I am now taking a couple of apples to eat on the way. They fill me up much better and I am definetly not consuming anywhere near the calories. Also, I just purchased a new food steamer so that my family can have more fresh vegetables instead of canned.

Well thats it for now. I will try to post pretty regularly about my food intake, exercise, and any progress that I am making.
