Ok, so everyone around me is losing weight. It’s the month for it, and I’m wanting to get in on it, too.

This past week, I did some core strengthening, but my treadmill is still buried under stuff from Nate’s painting project. Hopefully, we can get it accessible today and I can start on it next week. I’ve already bought running shoes.

A woman in our church congregation is a personal trainer at a gym, and Nate has talked with her about coming and setting up a program for us. That could be a fun kickstart.

I actually weighed myself today. I could tell I’d gained weight, and was afraid I was up around 232. And I’m only 226.5. That was happy news. Well, not happy necessarily, but a major relief anyway.

I’ve been struggling with Calorie King, because I’ve lost some of my patience with breaking down everything I eat to figure out calories. Breakfast, snacks, and lunch are easy enough, but dinner can be really tough. Janell and I emailed last week and she said some things that I think will help, mainly to not be so OCD about it and just guestimate the best that I can.

That has to be better than doing nothing.

So, I’m working towards a good week. Is anyone having some good, beginning of the year success?
