First week is now in the books and in summary, I feel it was a successful week. Total weight loss for the week was 2.2 lbs and I'm definitely feeling better. I was able to reach my goal of working out 3 times this past week. I've been paying close attention to what goes in my mouth, and even though there was at least one day this past week where things didn't quite go as planned, I didn't beat myself up about it. Instead, I kept my eye focused on the week as a whole.
I also took notice to my total number of calories I'm intaking throughout the week and how my body is reacting to my carbs versus protein ratio. My body seems to do better with a higher level of protein in my diet -- we'll see how that trend continues over this next week.
Today was my beginning of week #2. My workout schedule, as it stands now, Sunday begins my week where I treat myself to actually going to the gym, and I then fit in a working during my lunch hour on Tuesday and Thursday. So far, that is working for me and it makes me look forward to Sundays. If I could fit in my Tuesday and Thursday workouts to be at the gym before work, I would. I think I'd get a greater benefit from them anyway, but I'll see if I can work that in later. For now, I just want to maintain a level of consistency to get things rolling.
So here's to another week, and hopefully another successful one.

Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals:
1) Lose ~45 pounds
2) Work out at least 6 days a week
3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

Not much to say, I like playing video games and watching/playing sports. I work as a web developer for a small company.
I think when I get into shape I want to become a volunteer firefighter.
Goal: Lose 35lbs before Cardio King

Success is not a race, be patient.
Success leads to success.
Success is always a work in progress.
Success doesn't come to you--you go to it.
Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process.
Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it.
Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying.
Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED!
If at first you don't succeed-try, try again
