Just a quick update on the dieting front. I totally cut out the crap food I used to eat over lunch (fast food, mostly), as well as soda. Yesterday had been one week so far of being on the diet. I weighed myself in the morning and dropped two pounds over the course of seven days.
It was actually a rough week. Not because I was craving the crap food I used to eat, but rather because I had a nasty cold. All in all the first week was a success. If I loose two pounds per week between now and my spring Boundary Waters Canoe Area trip, I’ll be able to allow myself to go.

I’ll continue to make updates as I progress. Looking at joining a gym after the first of the year… they usually have some good deals going on around that time.
The Holidays Are Ahead – A Dieters Nightmare!
I’ll go into a little more detail in future posts regarding the types of meals I have been eating. I am actually doing a lot of documenting at home on my endeavor to get healthy.
My main concern the next three weekends is Holiday meals.
Tomorrow (12/16) my family has a large Holiday party, and there is always lots of food and treats. It is going to be a challenge to avoid eating poorly. Cousins, aunts, uncles…scores of people, and lots of food.
The following weekend I have two, count them two large family meals (one on 12/23 and another on 12/25) that I will be attending. These couple of days has me worried, big time.
Then the following weekend is the New Years Weekend. I am not too worried about this weekend, only one dinner I need to attend (12/31), and I know I can eat whatever I choose on a menu – Caesar Salad is on my mind.
The Stats So Far
Starting Weight as of 12/7/17: 325 lbs.
Weigh in on 12/14/17: 317 lbs.
Wish me luck-
TD
