I wish this wasn’t the hundredth time in my life that I’m starting over with weight loss.

Next week I turn 47. I’m not a kid anymore. If I don’t seriously make a full on lifestyle change my quality of life in the future is going to suck… and it doesn’t have to go like that.

I kept up with the gym & loved it… then in March 2018 work for incredibly stressful and I tweaked my arm a bit. Now it’s July 2019, I haven’t been to the gym in a year and I’m just over 250 pounds. JFC!

July 18, 2020 is my 30th high school reunion. It is also my birthday. This gives me a concrete deadline for a goal.

Yes, it’s ultimately a change needed for my health but let’s be truthful, it’s also about the fucking aesthetics of wanting to look good.

52 weeks.

Base goal: 199

Moderate goal: 175

Balls to the wall goal: 150

I’m using a different tracker, Chronometer. What I’m really liking about it so far is that your food is just “for the day”, no meal divisions. Apparently the subscription version allows meal divisions but that’s not a selling point for me.

So back to the blog to express.
