WW

Well the great task is taken up once again. I have again joined the ranks of weight watchers. Tonight was my first weigh in and it went reasonable well; I lost 2.6 pounds. What was positive was that there was no great strain to the process. The slightly altered system, coupled with a new vigor to achieve my goals, seems to be made for me. The points are greater each day, there are extra points available to fall upon if you have a bad day and all this leads to a less hungry, slower weight loss program. Most important is that I am eating much better and am willing to explore culinary options once eschewed. Ironically, I've been so careful the past few days I have to eat a lot at dinner to fulfill the point total.

So, the goals are to
  • lose at least 35, better yet 45 pounds in the 6 - 9 months
  • lower cholesterol
  • get off pressure med
  • run a 1/2 marathon sometime in the next year
