My Wife Is Great!!!

I just finished day three and so far this is not too bad. I am exercising every day on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes. Trust me, bouncing around 316 lbs on a treadmill can wear you down in a hurry. However, I knew this would be a key part of my journey.

I am actually getting very motivated to exercise. Rebecca and I are about to buy bikes and start riding together. Hopefully in a few weeks, I will begin to add swimming to my plan a couple times a week. I figure by combining all three that it will never get boring and I can get three great workouts.

The best part so far of my plan has been the meal plan. My wife is great to me!!! Saying that I married up in life is an understatement. She has committed to doing the same plan as me and eating just as me. That makes it a lot easier. She is amazing me in the kitchen by developing new recipes that are perfect for me in calorie count. I am averaging only about 1,200 calories a day and I am getting to eat food such as meat loaf, sandwich's, mashed potato's, barbecue chicken pizza, and Mexican chicken lasagna. My motto is, "You want a successful diet, marry a food scientist". I figure when you spend the better part of your week as a product developer for Nestle's lean cuisines, coming home and cooking for an overweight husband is an easy task. She is going to be a big part of my success.

I will be posting a new weigh in on Monday. I am very excited. My first goal point is my annual physical in May. It is very exciting that for the first time in years the nurse may check my weight and only have to slide the big weight on the scale to 250 lbs and then get to use the small weight to finish me out. That is my first dream. I don't want to have to move the first weight to 300 lbs anymore. I know, it is a silly goal. But it is a goal.
