Slow start....

So, work has put a damper on my plan...I have not been able to get to the gym for when they have open swim yet. My schedule at work keeps changing which does a number on your sleep habits. My short term goal is to go tomorrow morning no MATTER what! Even if I don't swim I will workout. This challenge represents all that I struggle with. If I can conquer this I can accomplish anything.

Today is the start....

of something more.... Today we do our first weigh ins for the new challenge. Many have dropped out due to logistics...but the challenge is still double what the first one was. I know this challenge will be tough for me. I am not going to lie and say I won't cheat or that I am going to swim everyday. What I am going to promise is to give it a good C-Muscle try and improve on the last challenge. My motivation at this point is to have more energy and lighten the load a bit. (on my mind and body)

Swim to Slim...

I recently participated in a weight loss challenge with some friends that was documented on http://dudeithinkwemightbefat.blogspot.com/ and had an epic failure. At one point I gained back the weight I had lost but ultimately finished the challenge with a total weight loss of 4 lbs. This is not even close to my goal of 25lbs. I have a huge hurdle I was not able to jump which is that I am a huge

Procrastination consumes me and I feel defeated before I start. 

We are starting a new challenge in a week and I have decided to finally put my mouth where my money is. I have recently rejoined the gym. (I think I have joined this particular gym 4 times in 8 years). I hate treadmills, I hate elliptical and most every other type of cardio equipment made. So instead of hating working out (another great reason to procrastinate).

and doing something I don't enjoy I am going to Swim to Slim by doing laps at the pool. I have always enjoyed swimming, and well it is a lot more fun than walking in place.

I am going to track my progress and challenges that I face along my journey with the hopes that having something else other than myself to answer to will help focus me and keep me moving towards my goal. You can also follow the challenge at dudeithinkwemightbefat.blogspot.com. I hope to provide some humor as well as some motivation to the new members of the challenge and most importantly to myself!
