In this check-in, my wife Vee joined in on the weight loss journey. Primarily, we keep our workout and weight loss sort of private, as I know women don't really like to share their weight. While I have been focusing primarily on diet, Vee has primarily focused on exercising because she doesn't like to count calories. And quite frankly, when I stop doing jumping jacks, my stomach doesn't stop doing them. And while she has been upstairs, I was downstairs doing some damage with some pizza bagel bites. I am currently down 7.7 lbs since starting this, and I am only going to do these measurements once a week. The biggest thing that I'm afraid of doing is losing a lot of muscle while I'm losing fat.  And since I have such a distaste for exercising, I came across the total body gym from OYO. It is portable, is less intimating and less costly than a treadmill. That said, I figured that I would give this a shot. 

Well...of course during my 1st weight goal check-in I have both good news and bad news. The good news is that I've lost 3 lbs, even while I sit an absorb carbs on my couch. The bad news is that I decided that I should exercise and get a little cardio in against my own advice, and guess what, I thought my treadmill was going to burn my house down. It didn't, but it did smell awful. Not really what I had in mind for burning fat. 

Hey guys, I'm a regular old average joe with a dad bod that could probably rival the best of them. This week, I'm actually just starting my journey. The biggest part of this is figuring out what ground zero is. How do I figure out what to do to lose weight, what changes do I make, and what is next. The reality is, I'm not a health expert, so I have to go through the same decisions you do when determining whether or not diet pills work, or if there is some miracle drink to lose weight. Today my journey starts, and I hope that you will join in with me!
