Week 2 - Weigh In

What's up curious peeps? So as you know (or you may not know?) last week I did a popcorn experiment......I don't technically hate popcorn but lets just say I probably won't have any next week. I made it Monday through Thursday just fine but last night I was actually not hungry until really late and I did not want popcorn. My wife was cooking a small portion of chicken and sauteed mushrooms and onions for a pasta dish to sample to see if it would be any good to make the full meal. So I was craving some sauteed onions and mushrooms. I did taste a tiny bit of chicken, but once she was done cooking I cooked up some sauteed onions and mushrooms. They were really good. So basically instead of popcorn I had some vegetables.....mostly onions, the pic is below:

I know I went off my experiment one day....but hey that's life. So I weighed in this morning at 276......so I only lost 2 lbs. This is actually really good considering I did not exercise at all last week! I am not going to do any more retarded experiments....I am just going to stick to portion control but I know I definitely need to exercise more. My problem is exercise is such a chore and I need to find something I actually like doing. I believe once I am in better shape it will not feel as much like a punishment.

I would really like to be in the 260's by next weigh in which is in 7 days. I know it is totally doable but at the same time I know I am not in a race. 6.1 lbs can be accomplished by a lot of exercise. I know if I am not there by this Saturday, I will definitely be there the following Saturday. I am feeling really good, but I know I would feel even better getting more exercise into the mix.

So far I only know of one person I have inspired to make some health changes. Has anyone else been inspired to make a change in their life to better their health? Is anyone thinking about it but needs some support? Comment on my blog or my youtube channel if you want to talk about it. I know there are a lot of people out there that are starting to make some changes. Our country has gotten so fat and unhealthy it is ridiculous.....at some point it has to stop.....for me my stopping point was "Day 1" August 31, 2011.

I am thinking about starting a facebook account for support for people who are struggling with weight. Stay tuned for updates on my weight loss journey....260's here I come!
