Just when I want to get back in gear, I get sick again. I’m finally getting over it now after seeing the doc, so I’m hoping to hit the ground running again quickly.

Overall I’m doing well and have almost made it through February and still working on my goals. Since most goals/resolutions are forgotten by Valentine’s Day, the fact that I am still working toward them even if I’m not fully meeting some of them is an accomplishment in itself.

Where did January go? It seems like it was only yesterday that I was mulling over the goals I wanted to set, and now I’ve made it almost 10% through the year and doing well with my goals. Don’t most goals get dropped sometime in February? I’m not going to be that statistic this year.

Four weeks in, I can’t believe it has been a month. Overall I’m doing wonderful, though I’m a little frustrated with my weight. I’m following the program, I know what I’m eating and burning thanks to the Bodybugg I wrote about yesterday, yet I’m on a plateau.

I’m a numbers guy. I need to see concrete numbers in writing to be able to make decisions based on them. This applies to our finances (a written budget and debt reduction plan) as well as my weight loss goal. This is where the Bodybugg comes into play. The Bodybugg is the armband the contestants [...]
