Steve v4.6: (Day 130 / -84 lbs.) Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor... Ew, Rain!

Still, this male must get through.

Our weather is making it's transition into winter. This is always a wet, gray, gloomy proposition- and today was way-wet. Usually people start down that dark path into depression and self-indulgence beginning... 5, 4, 3, 2, ...NOW. We denizens of the gray typically pull on the sweats and keep them on until late spring whilst carbo-loading and glazing our eyes in front of the TV.

Ah, tradition.

This year I'm breaking old habits and braving the weather. Rain ain't bringing me down or keeping me in- I've come too far for that.

Today was a gym/weigh-in day. Down a pound! I was feeling pretty good about it so I did a lap around the track/bleachers to cement the loss. Oo-rah!

Technorati Profile

Steve v4.7

So here's the deal, I was a pretty active guy; athletic, thin, energetic. I stayed fit until my late 20's and then gradually became less active and ate a lot more.

Guess what- I got fat, really fat. Obese.

It was May 21, 2007 that I decided the time had come for change, drastic change. I decided that obesity just wasn't my thing and set about losing weight. Here's the thing though, I would do it without pills, potions, or program, just common sense, exercise and healthy choices.

This blog started it's life as "Steve v4.6" because I was 46 years old. My goal was to lose 150 pounds before my next birthday, at which time it (and I) would become Steve v4.7. That happened on my birthday, June 6, 2008- marking not only my birthday but also a loss of 148 pounds.

My goal now is to lose another 40 pounds before my next (v4.8) birthday by applying everything I learned during the past 380 days.
