After all the drama of gaining weight three days in a row late last week, as of my weigh-in this morning I’ve lost a pound in the past seven days.
A pound! Â That’s four sticks of butter! Â Four all-beef patties (before cooking)! Â .0037 of my total weight!
So yes, I’m a little excited.  Enough so that I am going to celebrate by having a glass of water.  Maybe two!  I know how to partay.

Somebody I see all the time asked me (out of the blue) today: “How much weight have you lost?”
I was so thrilled that somebody noticed I might have eaten her just a little bit.

If I had only four words to sum up the difference between walk/running at night versus doing it in the morning.
Yes, I made it out of bed by 6:30 to exercise. Â The idea is to try and get back to a more or less “normal” sleep pattern, since walking at 11:00 at night tends to keep me awake until 1-ish. Â But for some reason my boss still expects me to be at work on time, and my kids still like to be fed and dressed in the morning, and my wife can’t do it alone.
On the weight front, I’m apparently “gaining muscle.” Â Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Confused?
I found, through Boing, Boing, a fantastic blog account of how Jeremy lost 50 pounds over the course of a year. Â Now, being somebody who needs to lose (at least) 100 pounds, this naturally caught my eye.
First of all, here’s the link.
Now, let’s put a little tidbit out there:
This week I’ll publish a series of short articles that explain the simple plan and the various tactics I used to drop nearly 50 pounds (or 5 belt inches and one shirt size) in the course of last year.
The advice I’ll give isn’t likely to be all that different that what you might read elsewhere, but the combination is what worked well for me. Hopefully it’ll motivate a few more people to do the same. I learned a lot about my habits and behavior in the process and suspect that much of it applies to most people who are struggling with extra pounds.
Includes a spreadsheet, tips on setting goals, habits you need to change, how to eat less, everything!  I’m sold.  I’ve had great success at losing some pounds over the past several weeks, but I’ll let you in in a secret: I can lose weight.  I’ve done it before, plenty of times.  It keeps finding me again.
This time I want to lose it for good.
