So hows it going Robert?

I have heard this question asked a few times.  Just tonight my buddy Jon asked how the exercising was going.  Well Let me tell you.... Not well.  Much of the time I have been under the weather.  I hate this cough.  Much of the time since my last post I have been in a self induced fog of day quil, night quil, vicks vapor rub, etc.. etc.. etc.. I have gone on walks, and the autmn days are beautiful, even in San Bernardino.

But I have made changes in EATING!  Growing up, dad would make us Peanut butter and honey sandwiches.  I hated them!  The honey would soak into the bed and I just did not care for them.  I always wanted jelly and dad would never buy the jam, said it was full of sugar.  mind you this is the same dad who told me in High School that teenagers are stupid and of course he was SO wrong at that time.  But now I realize that yeah teenagers are stupid. (but I wasn't, but I am sure all 4 parents will disagree) Ok so why did I tell you all of that? Because I was wrong regarding peanut butter and honey sandwiches!  They are delicious!  And I can drive while eating which saves time in the morning!  I have also been working on operation portion control.  That's pretty difficult! 

Ok so in rehab there is a time of confessions and well I need to confess.  Katrina, a good friend and a guru of healthiness caught me drinking a coke :(  It wasn't a coke zero :(  90 useless calories.  She so busted me!  She told me that she was going to see if it was in my blog.  Well here it is.  Ok so until next time, happy healthy exercising and eating!

The start

Well every story has to have a beginning.  So I need to begin.  It is no secret that I need to loose weight by eating healthy and exercising.  My problem is simple: I LOVE to EAT and I HATE to EXERCISE!  I have looked for that magic pill, that magic shake, that magic program, but alas, I am not a magician.  It looks like I have to actually work at this to succeed and well... I just don't have the drive to do that.  So to put it in a nutshell I need some accountability.  I need someone to look over my shoulder and make sure I am following through.  I need the encouragement.  I need the reminders.  And occasionally I need to hear the hard truth (my mom and best friend is really good at doing that!)  So this blog begins.

The purpose of this blog is for me to post how I am doing.  I hope to update daily on what I have been eating and how I have been exercising.  I will try not to make it boring.  I want you to read it and see how i am doing.  So any suggestions would help.  Easy healthy recipes would be great!  Tips on how to increase the amount of exercising would be great too!  So let this adventure begin! 

Oh yeah, the goal: 50 pounds!  I will do this!
