22 January 2014 - 241.1 lbs.
Not bad considering I ate half a chicken last night. Fifteen minutes on the elliptical this morning. I'm going to focus on drinking a lot of water today. I did drink a lot of fluids. Had oatmeal for breakfast, lots of vegetables for lunch(celery, carrots and cream cheese dip) and home made chicken soup for dinner.
Getting Started
Yup, I've finally come to the conclusion I need to make some changes. This is how I looked at the end of our mission in Africa. Not sure how much I weighed then. I came home at 260 lbs. Yesterday I weighed in at 252. I am taking Lisinipril for high blood pressure 140/90 and Simvastatin for high cholesterol. I have been experiencing severe heart pain and took a stress test two weeks ago. It came out normal and am scheduled for a more intensive one tomorrow. However, the worst is a significant lack of energy. So, as I have learned as a bishop, people make changes better when they hold themselves accountable and that is what I am doing here. I am committed to losing at least 30 pounds and improve my health with better eating. Attached below is a list of good and bad foods I have researched. Hope they might do others some good. I am also going to keep a daily progress record.
