More Day 2:

Instead of having the chicken salad I had a couple turkey sandwiches with tomato and jalapeno.  It's amazing what a difference adding a spicy pepper and a thin slice of tomato makes.  I was really hungry and those sandwiches were so satisfying...I'm stuffed.

I did get up the courage to weigh myself.  294lbs.  There I said it.  Sigh.

Now with that said.  I won't be weighing myself daily.  I will weigh myself once a week.  Also, I'm 6ft and big boned.  In high school I was considered very skinny, but I weighed 205lbs.  I don't expect to get back to that weight.  If I get below 250lbs I'll consider that as doing good.  If I get below 235lbs then I'll consider that a victory.  At 52yrs of age if I'm carrying a bit of extra weight I'm not going to beat myself up about it.  I will however beat myself up a bit for allowing it to get so far out of control that I almost hit 300lbs.

So....I'll set my initial goal at losing 60lbs.  I'll adjust it downwards as time goes on, but the first major step is breaking 250lbs(for the umpteenth time!).
