Steve v4.6: June 2009

Please pardon my rust as I go through some changes here.

I've been mulling over revamping my blog, mainly because I was feeling a little "stuck in a rut" on so many levels. Those of you keeping score may notice that my weight hasn't really been changing for the better over the past few weeks. I've gained weight and have just been kinda "blah". I can't quite put my finger on the specific source of my doldrums but I feel an incredible sense of urgency to kick myself in the ass and facilitate some positive change.

The thing is, my blog has held me accountable. It's been both stick and carrot on my journey from fat to, well, less fat. My goal from here on out is to augment that accountability and and drop that last pile of weight.

Rock on.

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.

(Day 764 / -150 lbs.) A Painful Transition? Don't Be A Wussy!
